Possibly not good news for graduating Seniors from TVLS

One of the annoying effects of the flood is that the kids are missing school because of this flooding.  Today, district superintendent Mr. Mark Murphy made the following statement.

"Our most recent update from the US Army Corps of Engineers indicates that it is highly probable that flooding will force the district to be closed for the duration of this week.  As you know, numerous township and county roads in the TV district are flooded and impassable.  In addition, State Route 212, the main thoroughfare of the district running east to west, is flooded in several locations.  Transportation is literally severed in multiple locations throughout the entire district. As I’ve mentioned before, to ensure the safety of all students and staff, school will be closed until further notice from me using the phone notification service.

In addition, until official notification is given that school is back in session, all district and school-sponsored extra-curricular activities, practices, rehearsals, and events will be canceled. 

Lastly, to ensure compliance with law and Ohio Department of Education requirements, the graduation date and end of the year schedule for seniors are under close review by Mrs. Huth and our guidance office.  Seniors and parents will be notified about potential changes once school is back in session.  

Again, on behalf of our Board and staff, I thank you for your patience and cooperation.  I encourage all students to remain mentally active.  Read ahead, brush up on math work, complete assignments, help around the house and in your neighborhood, and take advantage of community service opportunities."

One parents opinion, (mine), send them on Saturday's to make up the lost days.
