FEATURED NEWS
SUPERINTENDENT DR. KURTIS KOTES
As the coronavirus continues to deeply affect all of us, it is important for me to re-emphasize the importance of working together. Our school community has and will continue to help support our students and their families to the best of our ability.
We, as leaders, realize that many of our families are being personally challenged in terms of their jobs and healthcare. The state is beginning to share resources for families through local school districts. I will be utilizing our communications system to send that information to our community members when possible. If any of this information may be helpful to someone that you know and they are not on our distribution lists, please make certain that you share it with them as a resource.
As many of you know, we will be changing our instructional delivery for all of our students in the district starting Monday, April 13th. The intent of these changes is to afford our students the opportunities to work directly with their teachers on new content. Teachers and administrators have been working very hard to prepare for this transition and I am confident that they will “go the extra mile” to meet the needs of all of our students. All of us in the school district remain committed to our purpose as teachers!
Please review our Continuity of Learning Plan on the district website. It provides valuable information regarding our educational plan, school nutrition program, and other important information designed at supporting the community. We will continue to update this document as the need arises or new information becomes available.
I hope that all of our students, families and community members stay as safe and healthy during this incredibly challenging time as possible. Again, please know that our school community is here to help to the best of our ability.
Dr. Kurtis Kotes
Superintendent of Schools
Respectfully-
Dr. Kurtis M. Kotes
