Veteran's Day 2021
Good afternoon! I just wanted to send out some reminders.
Conferences this afternoon from 2:30 - 7:00PM. We encourage 6-12 parents to bring their student(s) as well to meet with teachers! Tomorrow at 2:00 students will participate in Rutland's annual "Trunk-O-Treat" event, to celebrate Halloween. Then, at 6:30 PM we will be having our community meeting in the Rutland Gym to discuss where we're at in the consolidation process and to do our best to address/answer any questions you might have. ***Important note - We have decided to livestream this event vs. doing a Zoom meeting. Here is link to our livestream (I'll send out again tomorrow as well): https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClRihbPOGQTfgewVTnSDf5Q?view_as=subscriber
Any questions can be asked in the "comments section" throughout the meeting, so, if you're unable to physically attend, we encourage you to jump onto our YouTube page. We hope you can attend!!
Two Reminders!!!!

2. A Community Consolidation Meeting will be held in Rutland on Friday evening (Oct. 29th) at 6:30, in the Rutland Gym. Please spread the word!
