Every week our teachers meet to learn how to implement academic strategies to help our students. Our math and science teachers are learning strategies to help students understand fractions better. Today, they worked on how to help students understand how to subtract fractions and why it is important for students to be able to do this.
School will be in session on Monday, February 4th. The precautionary boil order in effect for our area at this time means water fountains and water bottle filling stations cannot be used. In consideration of this precautionary boil order, changes have been made after consultation with the Health Department and Water Association. These changes are:
- Bottled drinking water will be available for students as needed
- Students will be allowed to bring drinks from home
- All water fountains and water bottle filling stations will be covered and unavailable
Bathrooms will be fully functional and any menu modifications for the cafeteria will be posted on our Facebook page by 5 PM Sunday evening. If you have any questions, call your building principal or my office. We will update you with more information as it becomes available.

Due to continued problems in a water line off-campus we will be out of school again tomorrow, Friday, February 1. We will utilize AMI Day 3 tomorrow and there will be no home ball games tonight.
We hate that this circumstance outside of our control has kept us from teaching and learning this week but we will always put the safety, comfort, and concern for our students and staff first.
-Nathan Morris, Superintendent
