Parents and students! We are experiencing significant rainfall that has caused us to divert several bus routes because of high water. The rainfall is expected to continue. This may effect the school schedule over the next few days. If you live in an area that is experiencing conditions that are making roads impassable or where water is making it dangerous for travel, please do not attempt it. Stay home.
The Wellness Center/District RN (Wendy Schaeffer/Kimberly Garlin) have a new cell phone number to make it easier for parents to directly contact us via text or call. The phone will only be monitored during school hours. Any messages received outside of school hours will be returned when school re-opens.
