Cold Days & School

Are you enjoying our 2nd long weekend in a row?  Like many of you I was hoping that we would end up with a cold day and so I brought home a bunch of work that I needed to get accomplished.  These two days have been a huge asset for me to be able to get caught up on some of the work that I needed to do.  I hope that you have also made use of these days and were able to get caught up on anything you were behind on and prepared for the weeks ahead.

Obviously, one challenge of the cold days is that it impacted the PARCC testing schedules.  On Monday everyone will be on Schedule C.  (Schedule C is pretty close to our regular bell schedule with 3rd period being a little longer than the rest of the classes.)  For the freshmen students, Monday will be your 3rd day of English testing.  Tuesday through Friday will be the math tests.  So, the test order is remaining the same and we are just bumping everything out a few days.  Hopefully you are all making every possible effort to be in school for the testing each day, but if you were sick and had to miss, you will make up the tests that you missed after we get caught up on the initial test administration.

Stay warm and have a great weekend!
