There is a Winter Storm Warning in effect from tonight thru tomorrow. If bad weather causes the cancellation of in-person classes on Friday, school will be held virtually. Students who are in-person today: please remember to take your laptop home with you at the end of the day.

The waiver submitted by DMPS to resume virtual learning has been approved by the @IADeptofEd for all grade levels for the period of November 16-30. We will have additional information and details to share with our families and staff later today and throughout the week.
We are missing a few...but our first virtual staff picture turned out great! What a fun morning of professional learning and reflection. @WalnutStreetIB

Does anyone know if the @IADeptofEd employees are working from home? Would be interesting for someone to make the decision that students return to in person school from their living room. Ya know, cause it’s not safe for them to be in their office. @CharlesFlesher #iaedchat

Don't forget: Friday is the deadline to complete online registration! Families have two options: 100% virtual or a hybrid (mix of virtual and in-person) learning. Students not registered by end of July will be assigned to hybrid model.
