Last night, a car struck a utility pole and resulted in power outages near and around the high school. We have been informed all power has been restored. However, it has also caused our phone system to go down. We are working to resolve this issue, but we may not be able to call out or receive phone calls to our buildings and at the bus garage today. We will continue to keep you updated and let you know when our phone system has been fixed.

Phone Update: Phone lines have been successfully restored across all buildings in our district. Wishing everyone a wonderful day!
