In observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, no meals will be provided Monday, Jan. 18. The Tuesday, Jan. 19, breakfast may be picked up with the Friday, Jan. 15, lunch.
The last day for meal delivery bus routes will be Friday, Jan. 15. This will allow Mid-Columbia Bus Company to transport students participating in limited in-person instruction.
