With so many not able to get out it may be a good time to:
Double check your final forms early dismissal routines and go over them with your student.(this does not indicate a decision for Friday we are still gathering data)
Walk your student through their progress book grades - Grade cards come home soon.
Double check the requirements for the CTC if your child is in the 8th, 9th or 10th grade. Space will be limited and credit deficits will matter. Failing courses will matter during the application process.
Thank you for your dedication and hard work to get the snow cleared for our staff and students. These people were out in the bitter cold doing some of the toughest, most grueling work imaginable. For our custodians this wasn't just about dusting off a few sidewalks—parking lot snow removal crews in some cases left massive piles of snow in areas that you then had to clear.
It was back-breaking, exhausting work, and you did it without hesitation. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You are truly appreciated more than words can express!
We have more snow on the way (according to the forecast) Stay Tuned, and STAY SAFE.
