LVR Weekly Update - 17Jan25
Good day out there, LVR Community.
This week's pic is a scene from the Artist’s Choice - LVR Student Show that opened last night at the Nelson Public Library and runs through to February 28. Amazing to see the depth of art work and read the insights from the artist's statements about their pieces. Thanks to Ms. Asbell and the Nelson Public Library for once again putting together space for students to share their work with authentic community audiences. Be sure to check this out!
Monday, January 20 is a Professional Development Day, followed by four double-block days for final assessments, tests, and projects, January 21-24. Students who need to attend on Monday, January 27 will have communication directly from teachers.
Semester 2 starts on Tuesday, January 28th and runs as single block ABCD classes from Tuesday-Friday. See the most updated LVR Block Rotation link below for the full block rotation calendar.
Our Cafeteria will have limited options for the week of January 21-24 as they will be shut down for end of semester cleaning. A new menu will be available through munchalunch at the beginning of February.
