DearSalmon BayFamilies:

Whew!  What an amazing week! 

We will try to put things back to “normal” as soon as possible this week for your students. 

However:  Remember tomorrow, Tuesday Jan 24,  is an early release day because it is a furlough day negotiated for teachers as a budget reduction. School will be dismissed for all students at 11:30.

There will be a ‘lunchtime’ for elementary and middle school students prior to 11:30.

Here are re-schedules of events:

• MOST IMPORTANT:  Friday will now be a school day. (previously was a day off called “the day between semesters.) Classes will be held as usual. This will be our first make up day for the snow days.

• WEP: the middle school Winter Enrichment programs will be on Friday (not Thursday). All classes and routines will happen as other Fridays. The make up day for the one we missed last week will be Friday, Feb 17.

• PIE – Parent Information Exchange – Demystifying Standardized Testing – New date will be Thursday March 8, at 7 pm.

• Chorus Concert: Monday Jan. 30, 7 pm in the auditorium.

Snow Make Up Days – District Calendar:  the district has not settled the dates that will be added to the calendar to make up for the missed snow dates.  As soon as we know, we will pass on the information to you.

Again, even with the furlough day this week, we will be busy establishing the routine for students.  On Tuesday, for the first part of the furlough day, Middle School staff will use some of the time to do their planned activities to commemorate Martin Luther King Day. The elementary teachers and students will do their Peace and Justice assembly on Friday the 27th along with Friday sing.

Thank you, as well, for being so supportive and flexible on Tuesday when we had a both a late arrival and early dismissal—especially with those who pitched in to help get everyone home safely and families notified.

Take care,

Jodee
