We understand that some parents, guardians, and staff in the southeast railroad area may prefer to remain in place until the situation is resolved. If this applies to you, please contact your child’s school or your supervisor directly, and we will work with you to accommodate your needs.
The safety of our students, staff, and community remains our highest priority. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
