Happy Monday! We're glad you are all back, either in person or virtual. We are having some glitches today on multiple levels. Some are on our end, some are on your end, and some are issues between Internet providers. Regardless of the issue you are having, please don't stress. We will work things out as quickly as possible, but don't worry as we will figure it out and find a way for you to be a part of school. If you miss a class, it is what it is. Relax and try to get on for the next one. We'll keep working and, for those of you at home today, we'll see most of you tomorrow. If you are on quarantine and having issues, be sure to let us know via email or call us.
