Jan. 16: End of Quarter
Jan. 19: No school - MLK Jr. Day (PIR for teachers)
Important Info:
My husband's grandmother passed away over Christmas break (she was 100, and lived a very full, happy life). We will be making the 13 hour trek to WI for her memorial this week. In a car. With Hamilton. Wish me luck! Unfortunately, I will miss school Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday this week. I hate missing school, and know that it can throw off the kids, so I apologize. But I think it's important that I support Seth and be with him at this time. Thank you for understanding!
