November Schedule Change - Message from Superintendent Wilson
Please be aware regarding the following changes to this year’s calendar. The change in the calendar is necessary to allow our support personnel time to disinfect our schools after the general election on November 3rd. Additionally, we will pause our face to face instruction to fine tune the enhancements we have made to our eLearning platform. All staff will report to their schools or work sites during the eLearning days and meals will be delivered to students in the same manner we did when school was closed this spring. The Virtual Academy will operate as normal during the eLearning days. Athletic teams may practice during the eLearning days after the school day is complete and any athletic events scheduled can proceed as planned.
