Dear parents and guardians,
Due to the anticipated temperatures near 100 degrees tomorrow, Wednesday Sept. 7 and Thursday Sept. 8, we are calling an early release for both days for heat conditions. All classes will run on a shortened 50 minute schedule, and students will be released at 12:05. Please see this link for the schedule for tomorrow: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jTS7JQ9a3RfCzrMfYvnCO74OtNe0FFirlMubWUR3iYM/edit?usp=sharing
We will provide a grab and go lunch for students as they are leaving campus. Athletic events and practice will still take place.
As you may know, our building is on the list to have air conditioning installed, but that work has not yet been completed.
Our facilities team does an amazing job with heat mitigation throughout the year, but there are some days when no mitigation effort can help to maintain a comfortable learning environment.
When temperatures rise to these levels, heat exhaustion is always a possibility, whether kids are outside or in a building that isn’t air conditioned. Here are some signs of heat exhaustion.
While these signs do not automatically indicate a trip to a doctor, the person should rest in a shady area or in an air conditioned building, drink cool fluids such as water or sports drinks, and take a cool shower, if possible, or put towels soaked in cool water on their skin.
We would like to assure you that the safety and well-being of our students are our number one priority. The forecast is for temperatures to drop back to manageable temperatures by Friday and we expect to return to our normal schedule at that time. We appreciate your understanding and support, and if you have any questions or concerns, please contact our main office.
Thanks,
Joe
