Dear Raptor Families,
In light of the excessive heat advisory issued for today, Thursday, August 24th, we would like to inform you that both the Fine Arts and STEM campuses will remain open. However, the safety and well-being of our students are our top priority. Should you choose to keep your student(s) at home due to the heat, please note that absences will be excused.
If your child does attend school, we encourage them to dress in light and breathable clothing, stay hydrated, and limit outdoor activity. We will also be taking extra precautions at the school to ensure the safety and comfort of our students during these elevated temperatures.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Stay safe and hydrated.
