Despite the challenges of frigid temperatures, the #CarolineFamily still had a great week! Special kudos to the folks who made indoor recess so much fun 🥶❄️☃️
CRMS and CRHS Families,
We are experiencing an intermittent power outage at both CRMS and CRHS, which also impacts our phones. Given that the power outage is widespread and many of our families’ homes are impacted, we will be keeping the schools open, using the generator, and making adjustments as needed.
Student drivers are being released. Should parents wish to pick up their student, they may do so. However, please be assured that students remaining at school are safe and warm, and lunch will be provided.
In addition, high school finals are cancelled for today. We will provide updates as they occur.
Jared Sherman, CRHS Principal
Yolanda Holloway, CRMS Principal
We are experiencing a power outage at GES. Currently, our generator is providing limited heat in the building. Given that the power outage is widespread and many of our families’ homes are impacted, we will be keeping the school open and combining classes so everyone is on the first floor, safe and warm. We will provide updates as soon as possible.
At last night's meeting, the Board voted to amend the 2024-2025 calendar as needed following our inclement weather days. Please see all the details on the website news post:
