Due to a significant number of students and staff being absent due to illness, we have made the decision to not be in session tomorrow, Friday January 31st. (We will remain on our regular schedule today.) It is our understanding that medical professionals have been recommending that individuals testing positive for current illnesses such as Flu A should stay home and away from others for five days. In addition to allowing time for our students and staff to recover, we will also be conducting a thorough deep cleaning of the school during this closure.
We understand this may cause some inconvenience, but we prioritize the health and well-being of our school community. We will continue to monitor the situation closely and keep you updated with any further information.
Thank you for your understanding and support. Should you have any questions, feel free to reach out.

There will be no high school softball open gym or Junior High Volleyball practice today. The Junior High cheerleaders will not be going to the ballgame tonight. The Scholar Bowl matches scheduled for tomorrow have been cancelled.
