Plot twist #2 - the weather has a cruel sense of humor, and winter is apparently returning this evening and bringing freezing rain with it. Therefore, we are postponing our Not Quite Winter Anymore Extravaganza. We will announce a new date next week. We are also postponing the Middle School Dance until next week on Friday, February 24th from 3-5.
No Dance or Winter Extravaganza tonight. High School Girls' Basketball is still scheduled to take place.

Tomorrow is our Not Quite Winter Anymore Extravaganza (5:30-7:30) AND a middle school dance (5-7). We look forward to seeing everyone as we spend some time in the fresh air!! All K-12 students and families are invited to come to the ES playground and explore our trails, play games, enjoy a fire, talk to vendors, and have hot chocolate!!


The weather has created a plot twist for our wellness event, so we are shifting gears and going with a Not Quite Winter Anymore Extravaganza. We will be moving the event to THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 16TH FROM 5:30-7:30 (rain or shine). Bring your muck boots and be prepared to have some outdoor fun!! The flyer has been updated to indicate the changes.

Dear Parents,
Today in our K-12 buildings we completed our second emergency lockdown drill. The State of Michigan requires schools to complete three lockdown, tornado, and fire drills per year. This was a scheduled drill and was not connected to the false reports several school districts received yesterday. The county sheriff assisted us in the drills. There was no threat in any building today. The intent of the drill is to make sure we can keep all of our students safe in the case of an emergency.
If you have any questions about today’s drill, please call the office.

Imaginative play is incredibly important during brain development. It helps kids develop imagination, dexterity, physical and emotional strength and resilence; PLUS, it is so much fun!! If you are interested in our GSRP program for the 2023-2024 school year, check out our Preschool Round-Up flyer for how to begin the enrollment process!

After watching the weather forecast and considering the incredibly large amount of illness we have had in the district this week, we are going to err on the side of keeping everyone as safe as possible and close school tomorrow, Friday, December 23, 2022. I wish you a happy snow day and a fabulous Christmas Break!! We will see everyone in 2023!!


Dear Families of Students that Ride Bus #1,
On Monday, December 19, 2022, Bus 1 will be running approximately 1 hour late due to illness and a shortage of drivers. If you are able to transport your student to school, please feel free to do so. The afternoon route will run as normally scheduled. In advance, we apologize for the inconvenience this creates.

It is the season of hope and love and this edition of The BUZZ is filled with both. Read to find out how many different ways our students shattered expectations and filled our community with hope for a bright future and love for this community!! #ONEHIVE #PROUDTOBEAYELLOWJACKET
