Good morning, District 3 families,

Please be advised that we are moving forward with in-person learning today. Because of the cold weather, we ask that you please ensure your students dress warmly with heavy coats, hats, and gloves.

We understand if you prefer to keep your child home due to the conditions; if you choose to do so, please notify the school office and the absence will be excused.
