We have had a successful week here at Desert Wind. Teachers and students are thrilled to be back on campus and interacting. There have been a number of really engaging lessons this week, both in person and online! A quick thank you to all parents, students, and staff, is in order for being so committed to making learning happen!

The time has really flown by! Next week is already the final week of Quarter 3! Spring Break is March 8th-March 22nd, and students return on Tuesday, March 23rd. A few important reminders:

• Next week, both Wednesday and Friday are early release days.
• Quarter 3 grades will be posted next week in StudentVue and ParentVue.
• Remember that semester grades are cumulative, meaning both Quarter 3 grades and Quarter 4 grades combine for the semester grade.
• Picture day is tentatively set for Tuesday, March 30th.

We also have a few updates for you!
