Tomorrow, Monday, January 22nd will be an E-Learning Day for all three schools. The current forecast is calling for the freezing rain/ice to arrive about the same time that our buses and students would be on the roads traveling to school. With this being our first E-Learning day of the year, I wanted to share a few important reminders- Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd Grade please find Day 1 of your E-Learning Day packets. Packets were sent home last week. Grades 3rd-12th will need to log on to Google Classroom. Teachers will be available from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. to help assist students with their work. Here is the link to find the complete E-Learning Day plan: https://core-docs.s3.amazonaws.com/documents/asset/uploaded_file/1303392/E-Learning_Plan_-_Carlyle.pdf Stay safe everyone
