4th grade has worked so hard during NTI days! We finally remembered to snap a few pictures today during our Google Meet. It's been wonderful to see their smiling faces!



Way to go Mrs. Bevins' class! We had great participation on our meet today. I loved getting to see all those smiling faces! Of course we had to do a silly face picture too. ❤️



The school is open for anyone who needs to pick up Chromebooks!

Update from Mr.Cochran this morning!
Let’s continue with NTI today. We will have a regular snow day tomorrow - so hopefully many will have their power back on- those who can do Google meets, continue with them- those who can’t, if work is posted- let them just finish without the meets; allow tomorrow (Tuesday) to finish any of today's work or class assignments.
