School Closure Extended Through End of School Year
Moments ago, Gov. Inslee extended the school closure through the remainder of the 2019-20 school year. In his remarks the governor reiterated that schools will continue to serve students, and learning will continue during the closure. We are committed to providing the best learning experiences possible for each one of our students, and will continue to work together to do everything we can do serve our students and our community.
