📢 Reminder for Tuesday, March 10
⏰ School Dismisses at 1:00 PM
👨🏫 Parent/Teacher Conferences: 1:30 – 6:00 PM
We look forward to seeing our families!
Bearkatz Nation! 🐾
By extending our school day just a little, we’re able to make up some of our snow days without adding time to the end of the school year—and still keep flexibility in case winter isn’t done with us yet. That’s a win for learning and for families!
Starting tomorrow, Monday, February 9, 2026, our new daily dismissal time will be 3:30 PM as we add instructional minutes to make up for weather-related closures.
🚍 Good news: All normal bus routes will run on Monday.
The final updated calendar will be posted to our website and facebook on Tuesday, February 10.
Thank you for your continued support and flexibility as we keep our Bearkatz learning, growing, and moving forward together!
