Due to an extreme cold warning from the National Weather Service for our community tomorrow morning, we will be conducting an E-Learning day tomorrow, January 23, 2026, to ensure our students are safe from potentially hazardous cold conditions. All students should stay at home and participate in E-Learning using their Chromebook starting with their first-period class tomorrow at 9:20 AM. We will follow the late-start bell schedule.
Details of Student E-Learning Due to Weather:
- E-learning days follow the Monday late start schedule with classes starting at 9:20 AM.
- Students will be expected to attend their classes synchronously, through Google Meet, at the scheduled time as if they were attending school in person on a late start Monday.
- Lunch period study halls and regular study halls will not meet on these days.
- Students who are unable to attend the Google Meet will be marked absent and should have their parent or guardian call to excuse their attendance.
- Students who do not attend the Google Meet should follow up with their specific teachers via email to receive directions for make-up work as soon as possible.
- If applicable, students shall complete learning activity assignments for E-Learning by the following day they return from an E-Learning day.
- Students must have their cameras on unless otherwise instructed by the teacher. If a student cannot meet this request, he/she must communicate with the teacher.
- All school rules will be in effect during the E-Learning day.
