Visit our website for more information about Krystal's drive thru picture days on December 10th and 11th. If possible, avoid Thursday, 9:45-11:15 as this is a very busy time in our drive thru lane. Just a reminder that families should remain in their cars at all times, students will be invited to exit their car by a proctor and masks need to be worn at all times.

Good afternoon Krystal Families,
You should have just received a call from our Superintendent, Dave Olney regarding Elementary School Hybrid. Unfortunately, due to the rising number of COVID cases in our local area, the decision has been made to postpone the beginning of our hybrid model of instruction until January. This means that we will continue to stay in distance learning at this time. If you signed your student up for hybrid, we will keep that information on file. We will provide you with your child's group (A or B) the week of November 30th. This will indicate the group students are placed in for the January reopening. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through the challenges associated with this pandemic together.
