5 Days In-Person Beginning the Week of April 19

At the April School Board meeting, the Board voted to return Wednesdays to in-person instruction beginning Wednesday, April 21. (4K will continue with four days of in-person)

Wednesdays will be a 2 pm early release.

Elementary families, please also note the last day of classes will now be Wednesday, May 19. Middle/High School students will finish Friday, May 21. This is due to the elementary construction project.

To recap, this week (Wednesday, April 14) will still be virtual. In-person Wednesdays will return starting April 21 with a 2 pm early release.

Students participating in the all-virtual option will be able to continue to do so through the end of the school year.

We will continue to keep you updated as needed.

Thank you.
