Spring Break Extended For Students Through March 20, 2020
Iredell-Statesville Schools have just completed a week of spring break, with hundreds of students and adults traveling across the country and the world. Out of an abundance of caution, Iredell-Statesville Schools will extend Spring Break for all students through March 20, 2020.
 
The district will hold Optional Teacher Workdays on March 16th-20th. During that week, staff will prepare for a possible prolonged period of remote learning, social distancing strategies, community based meal delivery for qualified students, and further deep cleaning protocol.

Depending on your travel history, you are asked to consider self-quarantine for a period of 14 days.  Please visit www.cdc.gov for a complete list of countries  that currently have widespread, ongoing transmission of COVID-19. 

As always we will communicate directly to our staff, parents, and students via mass notification, on the I-SS Website, and on our social media channels and through our local media outlets.  You may view additional updates by visiting www.issnc.org/coronavirus
