Dear Parents,
In the event of inclement weather our students need to be prepared for a Work at
Home day. In order for the county to receive credit as a school day (and not have to
make it up) please fill out the Winter Weather Log to document the time your child works
on the various activities. Students should spend about 2 hours per day working on these
activities. Please keep this information in your childs homework binder, in the case of
winter weather coming unexpectedly or school being closed at the last minute. This will
also be posted on the Classroom webpage for your convenience, if you have power!

ASSIGNMENTS THAT YOU ARE CAPABLE OF DOING AND COMPLETE THOSE.
