Dear Parents/Guardians and Students, just a reminder that having a 4-day school week does not necessarily mean we have every Friday off. There will be weeks, like this first one, where there is no school on Monday and school on Friday, and we have one week in December where we are attending all five days. Please check the 2023-2024 district calendar located on the website and the weekly event updates posted on the website, social media platforms and in the school app; yes, we have an app! Search Townsend Schools and look for the bulldog logo. Have an excellent school year, Bulldog Family, and please reach out to the appropriate offices anytime for any additional help you may need!
