Southgate Families,
Looking ahead to the weekend, our weather forecast is looking very interesting! Just in case we need to transition to an NTI day next week, we want to ensure every student is prepared to learn from home.
As a reminder, NTI Packets were sent home in December. Now is a great time to double-check: do you know where your child’s packet is located?
If you need a replacement or an extra packet, please call the front office this morning so we can prep a new packet for your child to bring home today. We want to make sure we get any replacement packets into backpacks and sent home this afternoon. If your child is absent today and needs another packet, please let us know when you call and we will have the packet waiting for you to pick up in the front office sometime this afternoon.
Stay warm and stay safe!
Best regards,
Lois Ellison
Principal
