Important: Heat Wave Updates from Dr. Davis

Due to the anticipated heatwave warnings on NOAA, and other media outlets, we will be shortening the days for students only, K-8, as we cannot accommodate air-conditioned spaces for all of our students. We anticipate temperatures outside upwards of 96 and inside could exceed that temperature.

HS students will continue with REGENTS Exams that will take place in airconditioned spaces.

Student Schedule:
June 18th - HS Regents will take place in air conditioned spaces

  • Pre K- 8 will have a half day with MS Dismissal at 11:00am and ES Dismissal 12:00pm

June 19th -  Juneteenth No School
June 20th -  HS Regents will take place in air conditioned spaces

  • Pre K- 8 will have a half day with MS Dismissal at 11:00am and ES 12:00pm

 

  • All staff will stay for faculty meetings and PD that will be happening in air conditioned spaces at each building.
  • The following PD has been identified as items which can be addressed on the half days: Child Abuse, Workplace Violence, end of year housekeeping/record keeping items, entering assessments into the portal, working with grade level teams, CEP, Progress notes for end of year, K-8 coding cards , Faculty meetings
  • MS Dismissal   11:00am / ES Dismissal : 12:00pm
  • Lunches will be served to all students on a half day schedule/MS grab and go.
  • Regents are being given in air-conditioned areas at the HS and exams will continue. ALL REGENTS WILL CONTINUE AT THE HS IN AIR CONDITIONED AREAS.
  • Bus drivers: Regents Runs will still run
  • There will be not after school activities for students
  • These decisions are NOT precedent setting
  • School will be in session on Friday, June 21st as temperatures are projected to be cooler, at this time.   If there are any further changes, I will update the staff again.

Be safe, hydrate and dress in light clothing.   

 

Sincerely, 
Dr. Kathleen Davis
Interim Superintendent
