IMPORTANT INTERCESSION UPDATE: Dear Parents, our 2023-2024 District calendar includes intercession days strategically placed throughout the school year to lessen instructional gaps. These periods support and improve student academics by offering instruction tailored to students' individual needs. Intercessions will be well-planned, targeted learning opportunities for students. We will enter Intercession on October 5-6, 2023. Please expect an invitation to be sent home this week if your child(ren) must attend. We look forward to supporting our scholars in being successful this school year. Please contact the school should you have any questions.
Thanks for your cooperation,
Dr. Vallerie C. Cave
Superintendent of Schools
