In the meantime, we are taking steps to keep our students comfortable and maintain a positive learning environment. We are ensuring students have access to water and stay hydrated. We are also closely monitoring conditions throughout the school and will make adjustments as needed.
Please know that the safety and well-being of our students remain our highest priorities. We will continue to keep you updated as we work through this issue.
Thank you for your patience and continued support,
Dr. Amber Felts
