Dear Wildcat Community:
While this winter has been relatively mild in terms of snow, it has had its challenges. As of today we have three (3) unused emergency days remaining that were built into the school calendar for the 2023-24 school year.
The following changes are contingent upon having NO more emergency closing days between now and May 22, 2024. If there is a need to close, we will need to revisit our proposed use of give back days.
If no emergency closures occur between now and March 27, then Thursday, March 28, 2024 will be a give back day with NO SCHOOL for all students and staff. This would make Spring break from Thursday, March 28 to Monday April 8, 2024. Students returning to school on Tuesday, April 9, 2024.
Additionally, if no emergency days occur between April 9th and May 22nd, then Thursday, May 23, 2024 will also be a give back day with no school for all students and staff.
Thank you!

The week culminated with the Color War contests, where classes competed against each other in fun activities. See more photos on our Facebook page.
