Semester 2 Begins Tomorrow

Wednesday, January 27, 2021, will be the first day of the second semester! We will be following an alternative schedule for Wednesday, see below. Students, please make sure you are following your second semester schedule on this day (check your parent portal for a full list of your semester two classes). We will have an extended first period this day for all students.

For those students who have new classes for the second semester, you should have received communication from your semester 2 teachers about how to log into their Google Classroom and how to access your class on the first day. If you have not received information from any of your teachers, please email that teacher directly before classes begin tomorrow.
