The Strong-Huttig School District will utilize virtual instructio­n today because 62% of faculty and staff members will be being vaccinated against COVID-19 at Medical Center of South Arkansas, SHSD Superinten­dent Kimberly Thomas said Monday in an email to the News-Times.

Thomas said the opportunit­y to be vaccinated is open to all SHSD staff and faculty, including substitute teachers.

Buses won’t run today. Students at school today should have received breakfast and lunch for today on Monday.

Students are asked to log on to Buzz and Google Classroom to complete virtual assignment­s today. The home basketball game scheduled for 5 p.m. this evening will not be affected.

“We are sorry for any inconvenie­nce this may cause, but we are doing what we can to ensure our students, faculty and staff members remain safe during this pandemic,” Thomas said.

On-campus instructio­n is set to resume Wednesday.
