Solen - Cannon Ball Families,
Upon receiving information regarding the water turn off, the week will go as follows:
There will not be school Tuesday or Wednesday October 22 and 23, 2024. The 23rd originally was a virtual day. It will now be a no school day.
Thank you for your flexibility in this. The decision to cancel or move forward with school is made based on the information we have at the time to make a reasonable and timely decision. I would like to thank all of those who have reached out in order to get us the appropriate information regarding water turn off in the community.
Unfortunately, we will have missed four days of school due to the water being off in the community and therefore in the school. We are planning to make up the lost learning time. The days we will use to make up time will be communicated to you all once they are finalized.
Thank you all for trusting us to educate your children,
Ms. Kramer

These changes are due to water being shut off in the community on these days. Thank you to the Cannon Ball Local District for ensuring we had the information to make timely and effective decisions for schools.
