Happy New Year Panthers! I hope this finds you safe & healthy. There seems to be a bit of confusion with the calendar, I've had many people asking this weekend. If you are using the mobile version of our website, you are directed to the WRONG calendar. I will work with Mr. Bland and our website management company to get everything updated. Classes resume Wednesday, 1/6/21 - it will be a "B" day for our middle & high school students and the HS GREEN GROUP will be in-person. Here is the link to the most recent calendar that was amended/approved in November. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BADibbcf5aA1PqJTthhfJs1fohhFRVTAqRcy8Ksm-yw/edit?usp=sharing Reminder for those that signed up for meals this week: there will be delivery tomorrow for Mon-Wed (likely to be in afternoon). Please email if you have any questions! See you soon!

For planning purposes - January Breakfast & Lunch menus

Big shout out to Senior Cameron Rodriguez - Cam was listed as IVVC Outstanding Winter Student in their Welding and Fabrication program. The criteria included to be considered for Outstanding Student recognition are qualities such as outstanding professional work, enthusiasm, attendance, initiative, and demonstrated work ethic. Way to go Cameron!
