1.During Holy Week we were scheduled to have a half day on Wed. March 31st. Instead we will attend a full day of school on Wednesday March 31st and have a half day of school on Holy Thursday, April 1st. Dismissal at 11:20.

2. We were scheduled to be closed on May 13th and 14th for Ascension Thursday and the extra day, Friday. Instead we will attend school both days.
 
3. Tuesday, June 22nd will b e full day of school. If we do not have any more snow days the students wll end their year on Friday, June 25th, which will be a half day.
