Marking period 3, which was scheduled to end on March 20th, will be extended until Thursday, March 26th.

Superitendent DeAugustine sent out a message last week with an update on extending the school year. It looks like we will have to move our final day of this school year to Thursday, June 11. Please mark this date on your calendar and cross your fingers mother nature cooperates and we do not have to add any additional days to the school year. We will update if anything changes.

Spring Break is March 30-April 3. There is not school on Monday, April 6th. School will resume on Tuesday, April 7th.

Families in our community are invited to open their homes and hearts to an international exchange student next school year. Hosting a student is a unique opportunity to share your daily life and culture while learning about another part of the world. Exchange students arrive with their own spending money, health insurance, and a desire to become part of an American family.

You don’t need to be a typical “nuclear” family to host—single parents, couples, and families with or without children can all provide a welcoming home. By hosting, you’ll build lifelong friendships and help create global understanding, one family at a time.

If you’re interested in learning more about becoming a host family, contact your local exchange program today and help give a student a true home away from home.
