Tucker HS Parents,
Please see the message below about DSCD schools being closed tomorrow, Friday, 1/10/26, due to the threat of inclement weather.
In the event of a school closure because of inclement weather or an emergency, teachers will provide students with a virtual learning assignment that is content-specific and relevant. Each assignment will be aligned to the standards and what the students are currently learning. Assignments may involve reading, writing, conducting research, performing mini labs, completing practice problems, taking notes, and/or answering questions. Students will be given one week to complete and submit their virtual assignments. Virtual learning access will be made available to students in grades 1-12 through Canvas or another approved platform. Pre-kindergarten and kindergarten students will receive hard copies of their virtual learning assignments.
All school-based, district-wide, extracurricular, and athletic activities scheduled during the declared emergency period will be postponed and re-scheduled if possible. Also, all after school programs will be closed.
