Shepherd Public Schools will be closed tomorrow, Friday,
October 2, due to an increasing number of student and
staff strep throat cases, within the district. Strep throat is a
very contagious disease. To prevent the spread of these
cases, we have made the decision to close. This will
provide our students and staff seventy-two hours to rest
and heal and allow our custodial staff the time to complete
a “deep” cleaning of our facilities and buses.

We want to see all of our families on June 9th for student materials drop off /pick up personal items. Kindergarten through fourth grade should drop in from 12:00pm-4:00pm.
