Calendar Correction

Please take note of the following reminder. There was an error on the school year calendar distributed at the beginning of the school year. In February of 2015 the two days off for the Alaska Conference of Pastor and Teachers that was scheduled on the calendar for February 2 and 3 should instead be February 12 and 13. Again, we will be having school classes on February 2 and 3. There will be no school classes on February 12 and 13.
