Intermittent Telephone Service
January 20, 2023 We are experiencing intermittent telephone issues today. This is a regional Verizon issue affecting many local businesses. During this time, we are unable to call out of the district and are unable to receive incoming calls. We have verified that internal calls are behaving normally and that, in the event of an emergency, we are able to call 911. If you need to contact your child's school, we recommend using email. Addresses can be found on our district website. I will provide updates as they become available. Thank you for your patience as we work through this regional phone issue. Blue Pride!
