End of School Year Procedures
I have had several questions regarding the end of the school year. We are formulating a plan and once that plan is complete we will share with our parent/student community. Final quarter/semester grades will be due by teachers into IC on Tuesday, May 19th. These will be Pass/Fail. A schedule will be shared for locker clean out, yearbook pick up, chromebook return and semester recognition awards including honor roll and eighth grade continuation certificates. We will also record an eighth grade continuation message for our eighth graders.
