As we continue to receive information and work closely with Public Health Officials, the Administration at Wrangell Public Schools has made the decision to extend our distance learning through Friday, March 5, for all grade levels. We will tentatively return to school on Monday, March 8. If an extension of the return date is necessary, then we will notify staff, students, and families no later than Sunday, March 7 by 2 p.m.
This closure will allow Public Health to complete necessary steps to ensure a safe re-open. We understand that all persons involved are cooperative in providing the necessary information to do contract tracing and Public Health anticipates having all of the information they need soon.
We appreciate your flexibility in our new schedule and our staff will keep you posted via email about changes as they occur. The safety of our students and staff is the highest priority of the school district.
Respectfully yours,
Dr. Debbe Lancaster
Superintendent - Wrangell Public School District
