In all, we had 75 students participating in extended learning time during our scheduled intersession, along with 17 adults. All students and staff are safe.
Students have had lunch, and dismissal will be at the ball fields. Buses will run on regular schedule and will also pick up students at the ball field, 615 E. Doña Ana School Road.
