STATEMENT ABOUT SCHOOL CLOSINGS

Please know that although we are not physically in our schools and offices, we are working remotely and are closely monitoring emails and phone messages and will respond to you as soon as possible during the business hours.

VIRTUAL ONLINE LEARNING

Because of the closing of our schools, the district has implemented online learning for our students to ensure that they will still have instruction and lessons to keep them engaged in the learning process. Below is the link to the K-5 Virtual Learning Lessons and each school will be following these guidelines. Parents are encouraged to copy and work with their students to ensure that the lessons are completed. Our staff will be contacting each parent about picking up the resourses that the students need from the school. Thank you for your co-operation during this unusual time.

Please click on this link to find the resources.
