Good evening GA Families,
As stated in the robo-call currently being sent out to families, we are going to close for the day tomorrow (Friday, December 16). This is due to the large number of students and staff who are ill. We hope by providing a long weekend for folks to get better, next week can be a productive week of learning before the long winter break.
Our custodial staff will complete a thorough and deep clean before students return on Monday. The basketball games are still on for tonight, however the music concert for 1st and 2nd grade that was scheduled for tonight will be rescheduled for a day program sometime next week. Please watch for that announcement.
And finally, the daycare will also be closed tomorrow for cleaning.
Thank you.
