Due to continued snow and road issues, the campuses will be closed today, January 28.  Daily live interaction with the teachers will continue just like yesterday.  We are working to provide school lunches as usual. If you get school lunches daily, you do not need to contact us for a school lunch because we will make lunches for you as usual. If you do not get school lunches daily and you would like a school lunch, please call 926-3846 and leave a message before 10:00 a.m. today. If at all possible, please come to the school to pick up school lunches starting at 11:30 a.m., the normal time.

The school campuses and the district office will open on Thursday, January 28, at 10:00 a.m. in order to give time for the snow that accumulates overnight to be cleared.  Teachers will continue with daily live interaction just like they did today.  Due to the conditions of the roads, we will not be able to provide transportation or standard lunch delivery.  For those of you signed up for school lunches, we will work on possible alternate lunch delivery options, but if there is any way for you to pick up your child's school lunch tomorrow, please do so.

Tomorrow, Wednesday, January 27, the Sisson and MSE campuses and the district office will be closed.  It will be a distance learning day for all students.  If you have a student who attends classes on campus, you will attend from home tomorrow.  If you are not able to attend your Google Meet classes tomorrow due to power or internet outage, please inform your school's office as soon as you can.  Leaving a message is fine. We will monitor the impact of any outages throughout the storm.  We will also monitor the storm throughout the week. If there is additional information or the need to modify our operations beyond tomorrow, we will inform you through our regular communication channels including the automatic caller.
