“This decision was based on a number of factors. We hope there has been some momentum created through the new e-learning plan and grading scenario and we would like to continue that work,’ said Snow.

“Additionally, both state and federal officials have stated that the next few weeks are critical in flattening the curve, and we would like to do our part and keep students engaged in school as best we can so they may be less inclined to get together socially with friends,” said the Principal.
