Today is Monday, February 25, 2019. Ithaca has a 2 hour delay.
Families and students, could you please check under your bed, in your closet or backpack, maybe on your bookshelves for any misplaced library books? If you return them this week, we will waive any late fees. We'd really just like the books back to share with other readers! If you're still working on finishing the book, speak with Mrs. Zorea or Mrs. Thompson on a return plan. Swing in during parent/teacher conferences to check out the Book Fair - open during conferences times. Keep reading - never stop reading!

Today is Wednesday, February 20, 2019. Ithaca School District is closed.
Last night, February 18, 2019, the Ithaca School Board approved adding time to the school day to make up missed time from snow days. Starting Monday, February 25, 2019, middle school and high school students will be expected to be in class at 7:55 and will be released at 3:25. Elementary students will be in the Commons for a 3:20 pick up time. The morning bus routes will not change. The afternoon routes will be approximately 15 minutes later than they had been. Doing this will add approximately 25 hours to our school year, and make up for all missed time so far.
Thank you for understanding. We make every effort to keep our kids and staff safe; closing school is not something we can plan.
Sincerely,
Julie R. Prouty
