Dear Tiger Families,
Students will not come to school on Friday, January 10, 2025, because a winter storm is expected overnight. Instead, Friday will be an Alternative Methods of Instruction (AMI) day. Teachers worked with students today to get them ready for at-home learning. Students will either do online assignments or finish work that was sent home. Your student’s building will share more information about their assignments.
The National Weather Service says our area may get 5 to 7 inches of snow on Friday, with at least 2 to 3 inches by morning. While weather can change, we want to keep everyone safe and avoid putting buses on slick roads.
Thank you for understanding and working with us. Stay safe and prepare for more winter weather coming soon.
Have a great evening!

Ms. Ritter's Honors Algebra 2 students were challenged with writing their names (or a 5+ letter word of their choosing) using a combination of different graphs and coordinates. The students got to experiment with using a variety of challenging functions and the domain/range restrictions to help them translate their letters into the correct places on their graphs. This was a fun and rewarding project and Ms. Ritter loved the creativity the students showed!
Mrs. Hale's Advisory class won the door decorating contest and will be enjoying hot chocolate one day this week.
FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes) and DOC (Daughters of Christ) volunteered at Feed my Starving Children. event.. Mrs. Vines said "I was so proud of all of the kiddos. We had a blast."
