The Long and the Short of It

Let's recap.

Winter of 2013-2014:

Sixteen snow days. Seven late starts. One early dismissal.

The Indiana Department of Education waived two days for the polar vortex.

Two days were made up in 'snow make up days' in our calendar.

Five days were added to the end of the year.

Seven days were made up 

one        hour               at                      a                                time.

Thursday, May 1st is our LAST day to run the extended hour schedule When the bell rings at 3:55 that day, we'll have finished our 42nd long day. Whew!

Congrats on completing this difficult schedule. Thanks to our teachers and staff for making all of the adjustments for instruction and assignments. Thanks to our cooks for the daily snacks. Thanks to our families for changing the nightly schedule to accommodate more school each day. Thanks to all of our students and staff for doing the work... eight hours every day.

We will dismiss school on Friday, May 2nd at 2:55 P.M.  

I bet it will feel like a very short day!
