Students will participate in virtual learning via Google Meet from Wednesday, Jan. 5 through Friday, Jan. 14, the district said.

Tuesday, Jan. 18 is the district’s anticipated reopening date for in-person instruction, Superintendent Gregory A. Troxell said.

“We know that these types of changes do cause difficulties to families, but are grateful for your understanding and flexibility under rapidly changing circumstances,” said Troxwell. “Please stay safe and be well.”
