Due to a winter storm watch issued by the National Weather Service, all District Five Schools and offices will be closed on Friday, January 10. ❄️ Friday, January 10 will be an e-Learning day for all District Five students. 💻 This decision was made in the best interest of safety for all D5 students and staff, as snow, sleet and ice is predicted by late Friday morning, and roads will likely be unsafe for buses, families or student drivers to travel 🚌❄️🚗
Teachers will be in touch with students regarding all e-Learning assignments 📚📝. All after school and weekend activities are also canceled.📆
We appreciate your patience and understanding, as safety is always our top priority in District Five! #WeAreD5

Students in Mrs. Landon and Mrs. McCrary's science classes👩🔬have been studying waves.🌊 Today they compared how signals🛜travel by wrapping their phones in paper towels and then aluminum foil to see the effect it would have on the call. The tin foil blocked the signal and sent their calls to voicemail.📶 Similar to how calls get dropped on metal elevators. What a fun way to apply their knowledge!🧠
