A question about Class Sweats – on the order form the t-shirt on the front has an N with little N’s in it and the back has Class of 2011 with little N’s in it (they are not flowers).

A couple of you have asked when the days will be made up due to the strike. That depends on how long the strike lasts and how the district & teachers eventually negotiate the makeup days.
If it’s short, all makeup days will be done during the three traditional breaks in December, February, and April. If it’s long…..or if there are snow days…..I don’t know what will happen.

The State and National PTA both advocate for children to be back in the classroom.
