Willard Family,
First and foremost, I want to pass along a heartfelt and sincere THANK YOU for your help making the 2020-2021 school year a success. In the face of some very difficult circumstances, our students and staff have handled the demands of a worldwide pandemic with grace, grit, and determination. For this, I am tremendously grateful and proud! They are all champions!
Below are a few important notes as we close out the year:
- The last day of the 2020-21 school year is Wednesday, May 26th.
- Chromebook collection will take place on Monday, May 24th and Tuesday, May 25th. Student devices will be turned in, tagged, and placed in bags. Students will receive the same device at the start of the 2021-22 school year. Students will be responsible for any damages when they turn in their Chromebooks next week. Students DO NOT need to turn in Chromebook chargers. They should be kept for use next year.
- Awards Day will be held on Wednesday, May 26th beginning at 9:00AM. We will allow limited attendance for the parents/guardians of grade 5 students. Each 5th grade student will be permitted to have TWO (2) guests at the program. Guests must preregister using the below Google form prior to 3:00PM on Tuesday, May 25th. All guests will be given assigned seats and asked to mask and maintain social distancing before, during, and after the program.
