February 2026
Brrrr… what a cold start to 2026! We truly appreciate everyone’s patience and flexibility as we’ve navigated weather-related cancellations and delays due to frigid temperatures and snowy conditions this winter. As part of our snow make-up plan, school will be in session on President’s Day, February 16, which will serve as a make-up day. We trust everyone was able to successfully log in and participate during our eLearning days. Please remember that all eLearning assignments will be due on Monday, February 2. February 2 also happens to be Groundhog Day, and we’ll be keeping our fingers crossed that the groundhog doesn’t see his shadow so we can move on to spring. With winter behind us soon, we look forward to getting fully back on track with our school schedule.
Midterms for Quarter 3 will take place on February 6. We encourage you to review your child’s progress and help them set goals to finish the grading period strong. Be sure to check out our newsletter below to see all the exciting events taking place in February. We’ll be celebrating Valentine’s Day parties, participating in Random Acts of Kindness Week, and recognizing February as Heart Health Month—a great reminder to focus on both physical and mental well-being. As always, please feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns by phone at 765-544-3331 or by email at bgarrison@ses.k12.in.us. We look forward to a productive, healthy, and successful month ahead!
