However, according to Dr. Crawford, out of an abundance of caution, the district provided extra resources to the high school and are welcoming anyone to share any information they may have.

Parents then thanked Dr. Crawford, who was joined by Coach Dennis Baker, for personally greeting students as they were dropped off this morning at the high school.

"Thank you for being outside and the first face everyone saw today as we dropped off," one parent said.
