The launch of our distance learning to the students will begin on Monday, March 27. Materials to students will be delivered via the bus routes beginning at 10:00. We ask that parents meet the buses to retrieve the materials. For students that in town and not on bus routes, materials can be picked up at their child's school office. Please call ahead and the materials will be brought to your vehicle.
