We take pride in our campus and want to keep it that way. Please continue to let us know if work orders are needed and to draw attention to the fixes that may need to take place - remember, it takes a village.
Inclement Weather Procedures Synopsis
If and when weather does arrive and the call is made, I will send out a message using Remind, but the district website will post the proper procedures to account for each day. MY MESSAGE IS NOT OFFICIAL so always refer to the website.
Certified staff has to account for days - Classified staff must account for hours. Every attempt will be made to allow for those who need to make up time to do so, without going over into overtime
General message is "Travel When Safe"
