In anticipation of tomorrow night's school board meeting, when a plan for reopening schools will be presented to the school board, we would like to remind everyone of proper social media etiquette. We understand that not everyone will like or even agree with the plans that are being put into motion. Please know that weeks have been spent preparing for the release of this plan, and every effort to find the best possible way to keep our students, faculty, staff, and administration safe has been of utmost importance. We would like to remind you that children read this page. Please lead by example when making any responses. Any comments deemed inappropriate or in violation of Facebook standards will be deleted. The proposed plans will be released following the school board meeting tomorrow evening. Thank you and please share.
