Internet Challenges This Week

We have been experiencing problems with our Internet Service this week, which have also caused challenges with our email system. 

If you have contacted teachers via email this week, and not received a response please send a written note on Monday.  The teachers have had very limited access to their email accounts.

Thank you for your patience - we are working to get this corrected as soon as possible.
