1. October 2 will be a full day of school. We are allowed to have two early release days per an MS Department of Education accreditation standard.

3. We will not offer camps during the February intersession due to low participation. Note: We are gauging continued interest in the upcoming fall intersession to inform the 26|28 calendar committee. See less
