Update – 3/15/2020
Wright Technical Center has made the decision to not have school, beginning Tuesday, March 17 through Friday March 27. Spring Break will go on as scheduled March 30 – April 3. The decision to close schools will allow district teachers and staff to plan for extended school closures and provide time for districts to plan for distance learning.
We cannot stress enough about how important it is for EVERYONE to help prevent the spread of any illness by following the guidelines below:
- Stay home if you are not feeling well.
- Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
- Cough and sneeze into your sleeve (or tissue). Make sure your mouth and nose are covered.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands.
- Practice social distancing.
