Based on feedback from the survey regarding virtual days, the board of education tonight approved virtual days on the following dates for this semester: Oct. 30, Nov. 13, Dec. 11.
Students will have the option to work virtually off campus on these dates, or students will have the option to attend on site on these dates. Instruction will be virtual. Buses will still run bus routes and meals will be prepared for breakfast and lunch.
Feedback will be solicited from parents later this week regarding where your child(ren) will be this Friday in order to most effectively plan.
