At this time, we plan to be in Distance Learning (beginning November 16 for grades 6-12 and beginning November 30 for PreK-grade 5) through December. However, county, community, and school district case rates will continue to be closely monitored. We will work with our Covid-19 regional support team to determine when we can have students safely return to school.
Please continue your efforts in supporting social distancing, mask wearing, and hand washing. Before leaving home, screen yourself and your children. If symptoms are present, please stay home.
Stay safe and take care.
