Hi Everyone, Here are some important updates about the end of the school year: The last day of school is June 11th.  It is officially a "half day." 😊 If your child has a school chromebook or other device, it must be returned to Montpelier High School on Friday, June 12th .  Please return it between 7am and 2pm.  Children do not need to continue to use the Lexia and Freckle apps during the summer.  However, you can still use the apps through the summer, if you'd like.  The passwords will remain the same.  Teachers will not be posting new activities to Freckle, so only the adaptive practice will be available.  We miss all our kids and hope you are well!  Have a safe and peaceful summer. Love, Hannah, Sylvia, and Laura
