Greetings,
We want to take a moment to address the concerns regarding our recent decision to pause extracurricular activities during our illness-related school closure. Our top priority has always been the health and safety of our students, staff, and community. Given the widespread flu and illness affecting our schools, we made the difficult but necessary decision to ensure consistency in our approach to student well-being.
As we move forward, we will follow Non-Traditional Instruction (NTI) this Friday, allowing students to continue learning from home while we work to reduce the spread of illness. However, extracurricular activities, including games, will be allowed over the weekend. We trust that families, coaches, and staff will make responsible decisions in the best interest of all involved.
We appreciate your understanding and patience as we navigate these challenges together. Thank you for your continued support of Berea Community Schools.

Warm regards,
Dr. Diane Hatchett
