Short Week - Just a Couple of New Items
Our annual MEA Fall Break is here. It is amazing how fast the year is going. We're already at the halfway point of the 1st Trimester. With us being in the Hybrid model this whole time it does draw attention to how difficult it is for us here at school, and for many at home, to get into a rhythm this year. At this point in a normal year we'd have seen the kids on 27-28 days in person. This year, that has been decreased to, at most, 11 in person days.
I want to a) Thank You for everything you are doing for your student and for showing your patience and grace to us as we have embarked on this new year, and b) Ask you for continued patience and understanding as we continue to make slight adjustments in our processes and procedures. We are continually looking for ways we can improve what we do so that students are getting as good of an experience as we can give them during this unprecedented time.

Cyber Security Alert
Nationally, there are a growing number of cyber attacks directed at schools. To protect our network and systems from attacks, we are instructing teachers to only collect assignments through Google Classroom and NOT through email. Teachers across the country are being tricked when an attacker poses as a parent or guardian submitting an online assignment on behalf of a student. If you need assistance with our online tools please contact our family tech helpdesk.
