Due to hazardous road conditions, we will transition to a Remote Learning Day on Monday, January 26. This means all schools and facilities will be closed for students and staff. Students should complete Day 1 work in their remote learning packets.

We are closely monitoring the incoming winter weather. Students are bringing learning packets home today for potential remote instruction. If power outages occur, we may move to a full closure instead. Safety is our priority! Watch for updates via call, text, email, social media, and posted on our website.
Estamos monitoreando de cerca las condiciones meteorológicas invernales. Hoy los estudiantes llevarán a casa material de estudio para una posible instrucción a distancia. Si se producen cortes de energía, podríamos optar por cerrar las escuelas por completo. ¡La seguridad es nuestra prioridad! Manténganse atentos a las actualizaciones a través de llamadas, mensajes de texto, correo electrónico, redes sociales y en nuestro sitio web.
