- The Registrar’s Office and the Admissions Office will maintain skeletal staffing onsite to assist students and parents submitting school documents.
- While some areas may be closed off, the campus must remain open and welcoming. Gates will stay open, but internal closures (e.g., ACB) may proceed as needed.
We thank everyone for your cooperation, flexibility, and continued commitment to service excellence.
