Hello Bombers, Today, Governor Pritzker reported at his press conference that he will extend the mandated school closure through the end of the school year. We know that this is a situation beyond our control. We feel awful for our students and extracurricular participants, especially our seniors and spring season athletes. We know we will get through this together. Our biggest concern moving forward continues to be the safety and security of our students and staff. Our Grab and Go meals will continue to be delivered through Thursday, May 21st. Remote Learning will also continue through the same date. Our Remote Learning Plan will be continuously evaluated and updated for the remainder of the school year. April 20th, May 4th, and May 18th will be Remote Learning Planning Days (no student requirements). The last Remote Learning Day will be May 21st. In other words, the last day for students will be May 21st. Plans for students to pick up their belongings will be announced by the principals. We anticipate that it will begin May 4th. This will be an organized “pick up at a door process” to comply with social distancing strategies. Final grades should be available by the end of the week of May 25th. We will continue to utilize Facebook, Twitter, and our web site to communicate with our Bomber public. If you have any questions, please send an email #WEareAO Take care and stay safe, Damian D. Jones, Sr. Superintendent
