We made the announcement to the students right before they left today to make sure everyone got it but we are going to have to cancel tomorrow. We had 160 students out today and several left and tested positive for the flu. We also had almost 30 staff members out. The most students we ever had out at any one time before was less than 140. We will sanitize everything tomorrow and giving the building seven days without students and staff will hopefully break the cycle. I know of at least two other districts in our area that are closing tomorrow. I hope everyone enjoys their Thanksgiving break and hopefully can spend it without being sick.
Marvin is leaving the school now to pick up Penny’s kids. First pick up should be at approximately 940.
Penny isn’t able to drive this morning so we are going to have to double route for her. Her first pick up will be approximately 940 instead of 910 as would be expected on a two hour delay. I will send the first bus that comes in back out to get Penny’s kids. Didn’t want them to stay in the cold any longer than they have to.
Western Primary & Elementary-Fall Picture Retakes will be Tuesday, November 22. Your student may pick up a form in the office on Monday. Thanks!
