NewsFlash | Snow Make-Up Days, Winter TEK Clubs, and Launching Pad Spirit Night

As you take pictures on field trips, while visiting your child at lunch and attending school events, please take a minute to send those pictures to Tracy Robinson at joyneryearbook@gmail.com. If you’re sending from a phone, make sure to choose “actual size.” Your kids love seeing themselves in the yearbook and you can make that happen! 

Snow Make-Up Days Scheduled

Make-up days for the two days missed last week for snow are Monday, Jan. 22, and Monday, Feb. 19. These dates were teacher workdays but will now be normal school days. Wondering what the next make-up days would be if we get more snow? Check the bottom of the WCPSS traditional school calendar.
