Educating all of our children today for their success tomorrow
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
We are incredibly proud of the hard work, dedication, and accomplishments of all of our students and student-athletes throughout this school year! As our community prepares to support the Wolverines in the WPIAL Boys Baseball Championship game at 1:00 p.m. on Wednesday, May 27, we will make the below school calendar adjustment.
Wednesday, May 27, will now be a half day for students and staff:
• Secondary dismissal: 11:00 AM
• Elementary dismissal: 12:00 PM
In order to accommodate this adjustment, Wednesday, June 3, will now become a full day for students and staff.
We are also working through adjustments to several previously scheduled events in other buildings. Building principals will communicate any additional updates directly with families.
Thank you for your continued support of our students, staff, and school community. Go Wolverines!
