Mark your calendar; set your alarms! Our district staff will be participating in a PARADE OF CARS to greet students from afar because 1) we miss you; 2) we want to show our unity as a district and community. Our fire and police departments will even escort us!
Look for us this FRIDAY, MARCH 27th starting at 10:00 AM! Wave from your windows or step out on the porch. If you do not live along the route, you are encouraged to drive or walk to the route. (Just remember social distancing and either remain in your vehicles or stay at least 6 feet apart from others.)
We can't wait to see our kids!
Un desfile de coches. Marca tu calendario, y programa tu alarma! El personal del distrito participará en un desfile de coches para saludar a los estudiantes desde lejos porque 1) te extrañamos; 2) queremos mostrar nuestra unidad como distrito y comunidad. Nuestros departamentos de policía y bomberos nos escoltarán!
Búscanos este viernes, 27 de marzo comenzando a las 10 de la mañana! Saluda de tu ventana o sal al porche. Si no vives a lo largo de la ruta, puedes caminar o manejar a la ruta. (Solo recuerda distanciamiento social y quédate en tu coche o permanece al menos 6 pies de distancia de los demás.)
Estamos listos de ver a nuestros estudiantes!
