Superintendent Update - In person instruction resumes Tues Jan 18

Good Evening,

We are excited to welcome students back to in-person learning tomorrow, Tuesday January 18.

We ask for your patience as we continue to have a number of staff who are isolated or quarantined. Transportation could take longer and staffing will continue to be challenging.

Please continue to make back up plans in the event of an emergency shut down of one or more schools. We will continue to work hard to remain in-person. Please be sure to report all absences and do not send children with COVID symptoms to school.

Thank you for your patience as we continue to work through this latest challenge. Stay well.

Every Student Matters; Every Moment Counts!
