Dear All Seward and Moose Pass Families,

Rather than put students or staff in jeopardy, all Seward schools and Moose Pass will move to remote learning on Friday, October 9th, 2020. Typically, kindergarten and Intensive Needs students would still attend school in red. However, no students will be in school on Friday. A follow-up communication with more information concerning distribution of materials for students will be issued later this evening. As additional information through contact tracing is collected, a return to in-person learning date will be determined.
