Digital Learning Day
Friday, September 15th, is a Digital Learning Day (DLD) for all students. On scheduled DLDs, students access lessons in eCLASS but do not have virtual class time with their teachers.
To ensure that students have a nutritious breakfast and lunch to fuel their learning, our bus drivers will be on the road and at every bus stop to deliver meals prepared by School Nutrition Program staff.
Families should expect buses to run their routes from approximately 10:45 a.m. to noon, beginning at the first stops on the route. These delivered meals are provided at no cost to families, and are provided to anyone 18 years old and under.

Heart & Sole
Heart & Sole is an afterschool program like no other! Twice per week for 10 weeks, girls will have fun, make friends, increase their
physical activity levels and learn important life skills. Trained and caring coaches lead 6th - 8th grade girls through interactive lessons and movement activities. The season ends with a celebratory 5K event.
Heart & Sole creates a positive, structured space for middle school girls to learn about themselves, explore new ideas, cultivate empathy, strengthen connections,
and develop life skills that will help them as they move through adolescence and beyond.
