Here are some of the important school dates throughout the rest of November.

Nov. 14 - Nov. 18 - District Wide Assessments. The district will be doing grade-by-grade assessments in each school prior to the Thanksgiving break.

The event will be held at Ford Intermediate School, 17001 Holland Road, at 6 p.m. There will be a light dinner and babysitting available.
