Dear Parents/Guardians,
As you know, our Varsity football game is scheduled to be held in Hamilton next Thursday night, August 29th. This will require our students and staff to have out of town travel and a very late arrival home that night. We also have experienced a recent outbreak of sickness for staff and students in our first couple of weeks of school.
In light of these events, we have decided to use our scheduled school day on August 30th as a Non-Instructional day and students and staff will not be in school on that day. We will amend our school calendar to replace that school day with the November 8th, Non-Instructional day, that will now become a school day for staff and students. This will allow us to also be in school on Senior Night, which will allow us to have a Pep Rally for Seniors on this day. This will not affect our calendar minutes or interrupt instruction by simply trading an instructional day.
This will allow our students and staff to get the much needed rest after long travel as well as allow our custodial staff an extra day to deep clean and sanitize the campuses and hopefully alleviate some of the illness we have experienced recently.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in this matter.
Good Luck to our Polar Bears!
Steve Reynolds
Superintendent
