DCSD Spring Break Extension/Postponement of Activities: March 13, 2020
Good Afternoon Everyone,
At 5:15 P.M., March 13, 2020, the Governor’s office mandated a state-wide school closure for all students beginning on March 16th, with students being able to return to school on March 30th.
Further, they have mandated that all after-school activities are cancelled as well during this time.
This does not impact prior information shared by the district as these plans align with our prior approach.
We will continue to monitor the situation and provide you with updates as quickly as possible.
Sincerely,
Dr. Jason Johnson
