District Highlights
Early Release on Friday 
& No School on Monday


Friday marks the end of the first semester and is an early release day for students. In honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Monday, January 15, is a student and staff holiday. All district offices and campuses will be closed on Monday. Enjoy your holiday!

Inclement Weather Need To Knows


It's that time of the year for possible sleet, ice, and snow. During extreme weather conditions, we assess the road conditions and notify staff and students as early as possible. The district will use several communication avenues to notify parents, students, and staff. 

The SchoolMessenger automated phone calling system will be utilized in the event of a delay or school closure. If you recently changed phone numbers and have not notified the district, please make certain your information is accurate by contacting your child's campus. 

In addition, we will post the information first on district electronic social media sites, the district and campus websites, and then through media outlets.
