closed and we were not able to provide our usual Spring

orientation visit and tour to students. We hope that the

information that we provide you in this presentation will be

helpful and get you excited to join the other 6th graders when we

can return to school.

information and details are constantly changing. The information

in this presentation was created in early June 2020. Please stay

tuned for any updates that may come.
