Dismissal at Canal, Congin, and Saccarappa will be at 12:20pm. There will be no PreK classes today and there will be no after school activities or practices. Be safe in the storm!

All students need to do to earn an entry is read either five short books or 100 pages. Submissions are due Monday, April 22nd.

It was an exciting last day on Wednesday! It started with a sing-along performance by the WHS Jazz Band and Chamber Singers, and then we celebrated being Safe, Ready, and Respectful with a whole school traveling dance party! Enjoy the break, and Happy Holidays, everyone!
Thank you to our friends from Altrusa for reading to our Kindergarten classes last week and letting each student choose a book to take home.
There is no school at Saccarappa today, December 19th, due to the power outage.
Because power has not yet been restored at Saccarappa School, there is NO SCHOOL today at Saccarappa. At all other schools, we will have a 2 hour delayed start. That means that schools will open two hours after their regular opening and buses will pick up students 2 hours later than their usual times. This will give crews time to address road conditions and power outages, and extra time to get to work and school. There are no PK classes. Breakfast will be available when students arrive.
Saccarappa School is dismissing at 1:45pm today due to a power outage. All other schools will dismiss on schedule at this point. We will let you know if this changes. Thank you for your patience as we get home safely today. Be safe!
