After Fall Break, we will be returning to school Monday through Friday with breakfast, lunch, and transportation provided. Please remember that although our students are not required to wear face coverings in the building, they are required to wear them on the bus to protect themselves and everyone else around them. We look forward to seeing everyone 5 days a week again!
