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.
