Important Dates

 

  • CALENDAR CHANGES: Due to loss of instruction during Hurricane Ida, October break has been canceled. October 11, 2021-October 15, 2021 is now scheduled as a regular school week (in person instruction) for Staff and Students. Thank you for your flexibility. Please remember that we are only halfway through hurricane season. We hope to be spared by any future storms but keep that in mind because we could have an additional change to our school calendar.
