We are excited to have our students back in our building tomorrow. We will operate on a 1-hour delay. If your student is a bus rider, the bus will run 1 hour later than normal time. For example, if your normal stop time is 6:30 AM, the bus will arrive at 7:30 AM tomorrow. Breakfast will still be served tomorrow morning. Our wonderful cafeteria staff will try their best to follow the monthly menu, but a different option may sometimes be served. Tomorrow is Custodian Appreciation Day! We truly have three of the best!
