Dear Parents and Guardians,
Due to a high level of illness affecting both students and staff, school will be closed for the remainder of this week. In an effort to protect the health and well-being of our school community and to ensure that students and staff are healthy for the upcoming holiday break, all activities and events are canceled for the remainder of the week.
This decision was made with the safety of our students, staff, and families as our top priority. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we take this precautionary step.
Thank you for your continued support, and we wish everyone a safe and healthy holiday break.
Sincerely,
Excelsior ISD Administration
