Our staff and board of education are also working on other critical issues, such as what this means for our seniors, how this will impact next school year and what impact this will have on our employees. We will provide updates on these issues as soon as the information is available.
We are committed to working together as a community to support one another throughout these unprecedented times, and communication will remain a top priority. Updates will be shared via our website/app, Facebook, Twitter and local media outlets.
As a reminder, this school closure is in response to the current public health crisis. The focus should remain on preventing the spread the coronavirus, or COVID-19 as it is also referred to.
