A Note From the Principal

Dear Daniels Run Families,

I hope this message finds you safe and warm after a week of significant winter weather. I also hope that all of our dragons were able to enjoy a few snow days!

As we begin to dig out from the snow and ice, I want to extend a sincere thank you to our custodial team for their hard work clearing walkways and preparing the building as safely as possible. Their dedication and long hours behind the scenes make a tremendous difference for our school.

Please continue to monitor district communications and local news for any updates regarding delayed openings or closures as we look ahead.

While students were home, teachers participated in a virtual staff development day on Thursday and planning time on Friday. This time provided valuable opportunities for planning, collaboration, and preparation as we look ahead to the weeks to come.

I look forward to seeing our students back on Monday and returning to our regular routines.

Warm regards,

Susan Mullen, Principal

End-of-Quarter

Due to the recent loss of instructional days, the final day of the second quarter has been moved to Tuesday, February 3.

Teachers may continue second-quarter assessments through February 3 and will share any specific changes with students and families through Schoology. Students in semester courses will continue attending first-semester classes through February 3. See Dr. Reid’s letter to the community about the end-of-quarter adjustments.
