Unfortunately, a scheduled repair of 60-plus-year-old broken piping under the middle/high has not gone as expected. The district must bring in additional experts and cannot finish the work until late in the first week of January. Due to not having running water, school is closed the entire first week of January. We hope to resume school on the 8th. Thank you in advance for your understanding.
Have a great winter break! #AlconaSchools #TigerPride #WinterBreak
