Dear WSCS Families and Students, I hope you have all enjoyed your well-earned break this last week! PG&E has announced a Public Safety Power Shutdown (PSPS) for... much of Eastern Madera County. This power shut-off is expected to begin on Sunday 10/25 evening and remain off until mid-day on Tuesday 10/27. For more information, follow this link for the PG&E PSPS http://pge.com/ This means that we expect the great majority of our families and staff who live in the foothills of Fresno County and Madera County to be without power during this time. This mostly effects Mountain Home School and Glacier High School students and staff. Also, our Oakhurst building will be without power. Please take note of the following important information: If the power is shut down, these are still school days. Please continue to do whatever schooling you can in the situation you are in. We anticipate that all Endeavor classes will proceed as normal unless your class teacher sends you a Parent Square with alternate instructions. All Mountain Home School classes will be canceled during the power outage. All Glacier math classes will be canceled during the power outage. For all other Glacier classes, look for a separate Parent Square from your class teacher. If the power is shut off, we will open our Oakhurst building on Monday from 8:00 -11:00 if you need to drop off or pick up materials from your teacher. Please stay tuned for any necessary Parent Square updates. Persevero! Michael Cox
