Students who have selected the Learn On Campus option will return to school on Wednesday, January 6, 2021. Virtual lessons will resume for students who have selected the Learn At Home option on January 6 also.

Ms. Ochoa has been hosting a monthly virtual read aloud for all students. In November, before election day, she read Grace for President to share with students the election process. Before Thanksgiving Break she read The Night Before Thanksgiving. In December we listened to How the Grinch Stole Christmas! We're all so excited to see what she'll read this month! Ms. Ochoa will send out the link so be sure to log in for her next reading!
