School Wide Sign Ups:

This Week's Top Asked Question(s):
1. My child was absent on Thursday and missed the Jogathon.  Can s/he do a make up run to get a lap count for entry into Pledgestar?
Yes, any student who was absent last Thursday can stay after school this coming Thursday.  As previously noted, this time will just be for running/walking and will not include any of the other activities typical of our annual Jogathon.

2. When does the next rotation of Enrichment classes begin?
Students begin a new session of Enrichment this week.  Enrichment classes will run May 22nd at which time every student will have completed two sessions each of Art, Maker-Tinker, and Mindfulness.  Sign-ups above are new for this next and final rotation of classes for the school year.
