Dear Parents and Guardians:
We receive questions every year about the decision to close school and how that decision is made. This year the state will allow districts five calamity days. The decision to close school is made based on what is safe for children and for the staff. That does not change because we have fewer calamity days. Please keep in mind that we have make-up days on our calendar (June 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8). You should plan your summer accordingly. |
