    Students:

    Greetings and salutations!  Hello!  I hope all of you are doing well and following the state and federal recommendations of social distancing to prevent the spreading of COVID-19.  On this page you will find educational enrichment activities while you are at home.   Upon direction of our Superintendent, additional  weekly assignments will be posted on Sunday's.
