We will have a District Wide Lockdown on Tuesday, March 24th.
We wanted to get this information out to you all because at the High School there will be a police presence led by Student Resource Officer Bell. These officers will be using this time to familiarize themselves with our building and how the administration and staff secure our building during lockdowns.

Here is some amazing advice from Nurse Honey and Nurse Liz!!!
As we work together to keep our school healthy and learning strong, it’s important to know when your child is well enough to attend school—and when they need to rest at home. In general, if a student feels uncomfortable but can still participate in normal school activities, school is usually appropriate. However, students should stay home if they have a fever, vomiting, diarrhea, or symptoms that prevent them from fully participating. When symptoms last more than a couple of days or worsen, it’s best to contact your healthcare provider. Keeping sick students home helps them recover faster and protects the health of others. Thank you for partnering with us to keep our school community safe and healthy!
