Good evening Blue Jay families. I am excited to announce that renovations will start on the Fairview Schoolhouse this week. Several years ago when North Brook had its 100-year celebration, we realized that the building was falling apart. I wanted to make sure that this part of history was preserved so I reached out to Senator Ted Alexander who helped secure a grant so that the building could be renovated and used by our students. Please do not park in the parking spaces closest to the schoolhouse because this will be used for construction vehicles. Construction fencing will be set up around the site. The renovations will take place over the next several months.

Lincoln County Schools will operate on a two-hour delay tomorrow due to the threat of icy road conditions. Doors will open at 9:20 and a light breakfast will be served. For bus riders, the bus will pick you up approximately two hours later than it usually does. If the bus picks you up at 6:30 on a normal school day, it will pick you up around 8:30 tomorrow. District Officials will continue to monitor road conditions. If conditions should worsen, the district will switch to a remote learning day. This decision would be made no later than 7:30 tomorrow morning. Stay safe and we will see you in the morning.
