Swimming Lessons Swimming lessons will continue next week for our 3-6 students. Because we missed a lesson thisweek on Thursday, the lessons will be extended tofinish on Friday, March 22. Students shouldcontinue to bring swimming gear next week.

Quarter 3 Extended Due to multiple snow days during the the third quarter we have extended the end of the quarter. For most elementary students this also effects the deadline for earning AR points. The new end of the quarter will be on March 29.
