Good morning. Due to some sections of roads within the district experiencing icy spots or issues with blowing snow, some buses may be running late. If you are driving, please be aware of these conditions and take your time. Have a great day.
Good morning:
Tuesday, March 14th, is a flexible instruction day. This day is reserved for severe weather events that may disrupt travel, power, or the internet. Teachers will have lessons/assignments in Schoology.
We are asking that students log into their classes by 9:30 AM to find work/assignments.
Students need to check due time for assignments. Many teachers use 11:59 PM today as completion time. This allows for unexpected challenges and responsibilities throughout your day.
Teachers will post office hours should your student need help.
Assignment completion will be attendance.
If they are unable to complete assignments, they should notify their teachers.
Thank you and be safe.

Thank you for your understanding as these possible delays are unavoidable due to the road work being done.
