School secretaries are essential to school operations--they are truly the "glue" that holds schools together! Their hard work, dedication, and attention to detail are truly appreciated, and we are so grateful to have them on our team. Not only do they take care of all the students, they do so much for our staff and families as well. We appreciate you!

Dear Students, Families, Staff, and Community Members,
Due to adverse weather conditions and low wind chill values forecasted for our area, all schools in the district will be closed on Monday (January 26, 2026).
The safety of our students, staff, and families is always our top priority. After careful review of current conditions and weather projections, we determined that operating schools would pose unnecessary risk, particularly during morning transportation and outdoor exposure.
Information regarding athletics and activities will be communicated as early as possible tomorrow, if not sooner. Thank you for your cooperation and continued support.
Stay warm!
