This message is to provide an update about high school graduation ceremonies this week. So far, it looks like the weather may allow us to continue our plans for traditional ceremonies in our stadiums. Thank you for your prayers and well wishes; please continue to send good thoughts for clear skies this week.

Our employees are back in our school buildings this week to close out the 2019-20 school year. We have enjoyed watching the many ways our schools have made milestone celebrations like 5th-grade and 8th-grade promotions and senior moments special in this unusual situation.

Classes may have officially ended, but we still need your help to close out the 2019-20 school year. You should have received directions from your school about how to turn in items such as library books and computing devices. There is additional important information we need to share with you.

Classes officially ended today for the 2019-20 school year. We are always impressed with the work and progress our students make each year, and this year is no different in spite of our challenges in the 4th Quarter. 

I hope this message finds you doing well and enjoying the nice weather that we have all been experiencing. In this update, you will find important information about the last day of online classes, collecting devices, summer school, and graduation.

Thank you for another successful week of distance learning. I continue to be grateful for the dedication and commitment of our students, teachers, and all those that support learning. We are so fortunate to serve a community that has such a high value for education and high expectations for continued educational services.

We thank all of you for another great week of learning. I was able to visit middle school and high school Zoom classrooms this week. It was a great experience! Our students were attentive and active in learning.
