Parents, two days before school started we realized that our enrollments in 6th grade put our class sizes above the recommended capacities. The board was gracious enough to give us an additional 6th grade teacher to reduce class sizes, so please bear with us as we rebalance our social studies classes. That new certified teacher will be approved at the Sept. 28 board meeting. In the mean-time, we have a certified sub filling the position as we reduce class sizes.
