Calendar Updates

Spring Pictures: March 24.
YMCA Swimming Lessons:Just a reminder that we will take swim lessons during school hours at the YMCA daily during the weeks of March 21st and March 28 th. Please send students to school wearing their bathing suits and swim trunks underneath their clothing. They will need to bring a towel, brush or comb, underwear, and a bag to put them into each day. We will have very limited time to prepare for swim lessons as we continue with instruction so having these things prepared will help us continue with our regular instructional day. I appreciate all of the volunteers that have agreed to help with swim lessons during these weeks. We will mainly need assistance after swim lessons when students are changing back into their regular clothing in the locker rooms. We will need parental assistance keeping students focused on changing since we will be on a tight schedule.
