3. The Title I program will end at 4:30 PM daily on the same days.
4. A new end of year calendar will be sent home next week so that June will be smooth month for your child's last days of school. 
 Mr. Woods  will have the calendar ready by next Monday and send it home.
5. Mr. Woods will be available on a daily basis from 9:00 AM - 11:30 AM to meet with parents in the office to assist in the transition for September 2023. Please call the office to make an appointment as Mr. Woods is still undergoing Physical Therapy.

Please note that this transition has been traumatic both to your child and all staff. Please have patience as we make this life changing event for your child as seamless as possible. Should your child exhibit any problems please contact Ms. M - the guidance counselor - so that she will assist them.

Mr. Woods will do the very best to assist students and parents -- please speak to him at the door in the morning/evening or come in for a meeting. Mr. Woods will continue to be in the school office on Sundays also as noted on the monthly calendar also for parent conversation.

Each week Mr. Woods will continue to update the transitional process. Our strength as a school community has been the line of communication that we have made part of our mission - parent, teacher, child and administration.  Please continue to use olqm1@aol.com to communicate with Mr. Woods.
