Coronavirus (COVID-19) Information

  • Updated:  January 25, 2022

     

    In order to better inform parents, students, and staff of the current situation of the district and how best to prepare for situations, the district will use three levels so that everyone can plan and prepare for what to expect.  Please note that the district could move quickly to Level 3 with little to no notice depending on the situation.

     

    The district will update its Safe Return To In-Person Instruction and Continuity of Services Plan (SRCSP) as needed throughout the year.  Check back for the most current update.
