Latest Email from Our Superintendent, Dr. Kedziora
Dear Families:
As you know, our Board of Education recently voted to remain in distance learning until January 25, due to the current status of COVID-19 as well as the upgrades that we have to make district-wide to ensure the safety and well-being of all students and staff.
The board of education will hold a special meeting on January 12 to evaluate the conditions of moving into a hybrid model. We are also developing a survey for parents to choose a hybrid in-person model or remain in distance learning. In the meantime, on behalf of the board of education, we are excited to show you the work we have been doing for a safe return to school in this video.
