We want to inform you that we are currently experiencing reduced air quality conditions in our immediate area. After closely monitoring local conditions using resources provided by the Emergency Operations Center, we have made the decision to limit outdoor activities at our school today.
Out of an abundance of caution, students will remain indoors for activities such as recess, physical education, and any scheduled outdoor events. Athletics and after-school activities may also be adjusted, and families will be notified directly if there are any changes.
These decisions are made to protect the health and well-being of all students and staff, especially those who may be more sensitive to air quality conditions. We will continue to monitor conditions throughout the day and adjust plans as needed.
If you have specific health concerns for your child, please feel free to contact the school so we can provide appropriate support.
Thank you for your understanding and partnership as we prioritize student safety.
