Updates...
With the continued attention on mitigating the spread of the COVID-19 and as the district, closed school for the next two weeks. I hope you will be using this unexpected time off to be with family. As Dr. Dupre explained, the district is providing routine updates to keep families informed throughout this ordeal.
As you know, many of the school events have been canceled, this includes many academy events and field trips. We are definitely going through an unprecedented times and I am sure you there are many questions surrounding school. I ask for your patience and understanding as to the district, state, and national leadership updates us on the COVID-19 development.
I wish you all well and stay healthy throughout this difficult time.
