ATTENTION Today was an opportunity for our staff to identify problems with Distance Learning. We know we still have some who need internet access and some smaller issues were identified. The biggest issue we face right now is the number of Virtual students who are not participating. Please encourage your child to keep up with assignments and attend Zoom meetings.
