They will each continue to reach out to our families via phone calls and emails to ensure everyone is receiving their assignments, to answer any questions, and to remind everyone we are praying for each of you! Please continue to do what you can to be sure students are participating in those cyber classrooms.
SPRING BREAK:
Everyone will still have Spring Break April 6th – 10th. There will not be any instruction or assignments during that time. Our teachers will continue communication with students and parents regarding digital learning following Spring Break.
TUITION UPDATE:
