Garden Valley Schools (including Lowman Elementary) will be closed on Thursday, January 20th and on Monday, January 24th due to faculty, staff and student absences. Currently, over 25% of our staff are absent and we do not have enough substitutes to cover classes. In addition, almost 20% of our students are absent. Furthermore, many of our students, faculty and staff are sick and continuing to come to school. We are taking this measure in an effort to give 5 full days off for those with illness to heal. Full school operations will resume on Tuesday, January 25th.
All school activities, including athletic contests & practices are cancelled for Thursday the 20th and Monday the 24th due to school being closed. Activities and practices scheduled for Friday & Saturday will continue as planned, however, if you are sick please do not attend.
We will be conducting a full and thorough cleaning and sanitation of our building during this closure. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you, and for any of you that are sick, we hope you get well and feel better soon.
