All athletic practices, and activities are canceled effective immediately. Please know we are working through all options for our staff, students, and families and will have more information soon.

In addition, the Governor plans to announce more information tomorrow and we will communicate with you once we know more in regards to the next steps.

We will continue to work with the Governor and Department of Education on a plan for students and staff. As this situation changes rapidly, please know we will communicate information with you as soon as we can that more clearly defines school closure expectations.
