Remote Learning Day February 4, 2026

Due to snow and ice that still remain on roads in the southern portion of our county, and out of an abundance of caution, all students will operate on a remote learning day tomorrow. The Department of Transportation is continuing to work to clear those roads and expects improvement by tomorrow.

Staff may report to their work site if conditions allow them to do so. Otherwise, we will continue to operate under our established remote procedures for both students and staff.

We will provide another update tomorrow regarding district operations for Thursday.

Thank you for your continued support, flexibility, and understanding.
