MARCH 9-14  IS SPRING BREAK--ENJOY AND BE SAFE!
Update​ regarding the coronavirus:
First, be safe. Pay attention to what you are being asked to do as far as handwashing and social distancing. Be kind to one another, too. There is no need to horde goods or blame others. We are all in this togther.
Look for an email from me by the end of week (likely on Thursday, March 20). By then, we will have updates on how classes will be conducted.
