Staggered Return: Kindergarten through Grade 8 ONLY

A staggered return gives students and staff time together in smaller groups to get to know one another and it provides students with a richer experience while learning their new schedules and the routines and expectations of school.

• K-8 students whose last names begin with H through O will attend school on Tues., Aug. 22.
