Thank you to Mrs. Kanerva and her 6th grade class for inviting me to talk about the science, criteria and processes around calling snow days. Great questions from this group of learners who really want to know if we will ever have "real" snow days again? Hmmm, we will see ;-)
Well, how is this for a response! Google is now back up and running. I apologize for the rash of texts, but we were getting bombarded by phone calls and wanted to make everyone aware as soon as possible. Lets hope the rest of the day goes much better! Have a super Monday!
Once everything is back up and running, I will send a follow up text. We are unable to send or receive emails, so the text will be our primary way of communicating right now. If you need to reach us, please feel free to give us a call. This is just another challenge for 2020!
We are learning that this is a worldwide issue that is now being reported on national news reports. This will also impact our PVA students and for now, we just ask everyone to be patient as hopefully this issue can be resolved within the next couple of hours. Continued...
Good morning Pirates! We are currently experiencing issues with Google, which means we currently cannot access our email or any of the Google tools, such as Google Classroom and our students may not be able to log on to their Chromebooks. Continued....

Update on Internet: The problem seems to be more severe than originally thought and repairs will not be made for a minimum of 3 days. If anything, the timing for this is definitely working in our favor given the holiday break. We will see everyone on Monday, Nov. 30.
FYI...We are still providing our weekly school food distribution today at the high school from 3pm-5pm. Thank you.
