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.
