Internet & Network Outage Update
Dear AFASD Families,
On November 15th, 2022 we notified you that our network and internet services experienced a disruption. We have recently learned that unauthorized activity was detected within our environment on or about November 15, 2022. From an instructional point, almost all of our operations have been restored and student learning opportunities have continued without interruption. The District continues to work with a team of cyber-security experts to determine the extent of the unauthorized activity. If the investigation uncovers any compromised personal data, the District will provide appropriate notification to those affected.
We appreciate your patience and we apologize for any inconvenience or concern this incident may cause you.
Respectfully,
Dr. Tom Wermuth
What Happens When We Have Inclement Weather?
Reminder of Snow Day Protocol:
We are still working under the same snow day protocol that we had in place last year. The first two non-consecutive weather-related canceled days will be viewed as traditional snow days. Go outside and sled with your siblings and friends. Any consecutive weather-related canceled days (two days in a row), the second day on will be considered an NTI day. Any weather-related canceled days after we have used the two traditional snow days will be considered NTI days.
What's Happening In The Kitchen?
We also want to remind families that we have a Second Harvest Food Pantry in our High School open every Monday from 3:30 PM to 4:00 PM behind the school at door "S" when school is in session. Stop by to get a box of cans and frozen items. (If the designated times do not work for you, please contact Vicki at (608)339-3921 Ext. 1114 to make other arrangements
