ATTENTION ALL PARENTS:
IMPORTANT CHANGE TO 2014-2015 SCHOOL CALENDAR
School WILL NOW BE in session on Friday, February 13th due to the fact that we have
already utilized 3 of the 4 snow days we had built into the 2014-15 school calendar.
School will remain closed on Monday February 16th.
Should we use more than the four built in snow days, we would then utilize spring break days
in the following order: Friday, April 10; Thursday, April 9;
Wednesday, April 8; and if necessary Tuesday, April 7.
We will continue to keep you informed of any further calendar changes.
