School Closing Due to Illness:
Currently 25% of our student body and 30% of our staff are home sick or quarantining. To help alleviate the issue we will close school Thursday, January 20th and Friday, January 21st. These days will be made up on Friday, February 11th and Friday, April 1st. Any additional closures may result in minutes added to the school day or more days added onto the school year. Please know that closing the school is a difficult decision that we don’t make lightly. We advise parents and students to keep gatherings outside of school to a minimum to help stop the spread.
We look forward to seeing everyone Monday, January 24th.
