Students are asking about the National School Walkout Day tomorrow. We will be treating it just the same as we treat any absence. If students wish to participate, they need to have a note or call from home excusing the absence prior to the event. It needs to be prior to the event because that is the same policy we use for all absences occurring during the day. All attendance rules apply (that is for the senior absence incentive too). We announced this to the students today. The school staff will be on hand to chaperone. For safety reasons, no parents or community members will be allowed to participate with the students. After 17 minutes, the students will be expected to return to their classrooms.

Last night was the final night of a very good Winter Season for the Packer Nation in all sports. It is great to see the kids be part of something bigger than themselves whether it is on the court, on the lanes or in the stands.

It's A Great Day To Be A Packer!
