SS2 Valentine's Day Party We will, once again, be doing a combined party for Valentine's Day! All requested supplies will benefit ALL SS2 students

Unit 5 Schools will have an E-Learning Day on Friday, Jan. 23, due to extremely cold temperatures. Students should NOT report to school in person, but WILL have classes online.

An E-Learning day means that rather than closing school because of inclement weather, all students will learn remotely. These days do not have to be made up at the end of the school year.

All Friday morning practices are canceled. Friday afternoon practices may start after 2:30 pm and must be completed by 8 pm. Friday evening games and events may proceed as scheduled. Weekend activities are currently scheduled to continue as planned, but please note this is subject to change.

Choosing an E-Learning Day is never an easy decision, but the safety of our students and staff remains our top priority.
