IMPORTANT: All District Schools Closed Oct. 2 Due to Sewer Backup at the Primary Building

Please be advised that all district schools will be closed tomorrow, Friday, October 2, due to a sewer backup at the primary school.

Because our district operates as an interconnected system we are closing all buildings district-wide. This decision is consistent with our past protocols, similar to a middle school incident a few years ago, ensuring a unified and safe approach across all campuses.

The health, safety, and well-being of our students and staff are always our top priorities. Facilities teams are already working alongside specialists to resolve the issue and thoroughly sanitize the impacted areas before we clear buildings for re-entry.

We anticipate reopening on Monday for our normal schedule following the completion and verification of these cleanup efforts. We will send an update by Friday afternoon.

High School Extracurricular Activities:

Please note that this facility closure will not impact scheduled high school extracurricular activities. Events such as the upcoming football game will proceed as planned, and individual sports teams and may schedule or hold practices as needed. Coaches and sponsors will reach out directly with any specific schedule adjustments or location details.

Thank you for your patience, understanding, and cooperation as we prioritize a safe learning environment for our entire school community.

Why retire the existing building - why don't we just fix it?

It’s a fair question, and one worth taking a closer look at.

2026 Bond Referendum - 7 Things to Know
School security - Improving student and staff safety remains a key priority
Water Intrusion - Water continues to seep through the walls
Restrooms and ADA Accessibility - Very few restrooms in the primary building are ADA Compliant.
Aging Classroom - Outdated features create challenges throughout the learning environment.
Outdated Building Systems - Major systems would require significant upgrades
Air Quality - Mold was discovered, it has since been cleaned, and the district is still working on a long-term strategy.
Why retire the existing building? The cost to replace the primary building costs $38 million; the cost to remodel is $32 million
Either way, a bond issue is needed. The difference in cost between $32 million and $38 million for the average homeowner is $5 per month

Circle it, save it, add it to your phone… November 3 is Election Day! 🗓️

The 2026 bond referendum will give our community the opportunity to vote on the proposed new primary school project.

There’s still plenty of time to learn about the proposal and get your questions answered. We’ll keep sharing information all the way to Election Day!

On November 3, our community will vote on the 2026 bond referendum.

The proposal focuses on a new primary school addition connected to the existing elementary school and retiring the current primary building.  Retiring the building includes asbestos removal and demolishing the old primary building, which will result in additional green space.

We’ll continue sharing details throughout the fall so voters have the information they need before Election Day. Learn more at bit.ly/4pisgO2.

Seven votes. That’s how close our community came to passing last year’s bond referendum.

That level of support told us we’re moving in the right direction, and it’s the reason the primary building continues to be the focus for this November’s election.

This fall, we’ll keep the conversation going and share more about the 2026 proposal at bit.ly/4pisgO2.
