Students will come to school on this day and use time in the morning to complete school work on their ipads. To create an even more realistic e-learning day we will add to the fun and have a pajama day! Students are encouraged and welcome to wear their comfy pjs and bring slippers on this day! While students practice e-learning days at school, it s a great reminder for parents to check Skyward and make sure your contact numbers are up to date!
