into close contact will be directly notified no later than 9/6//2020. Those that were in close
contact will remain off campus for up to 14 days to ensure they do not have the virus, so that

Any of the following symptoms indicate a possible COVID-19 infection:

If you or any member of the Elementary community does begin experiencing any of these

We would like to share with you an opportunity to help our neighbors in Newton, as they recover from Hurricane Laura. Items may be brought to the Elementary on Friday and will be delivered Saturday. Thank you. 😊
Dear Pirate Family, I’m glad we all made it through the storm safely and avoided catastrophic destruction. I know many of you all are dealing with power issues. Due to power and internet fluctuations we are going to have all staff begin on Monday and students will restart remote learning Tuesday. Hopefully, this will give the power companies time to resolve the fluctuation issues.
Due to the mandatory evacuation of Jefferson County, Spurger ISD will be closed Tuesday through Friday.
Meal service time is changing to 11:15-11:45. Remember order before 10 am the day before to get an order. If you miss pick up twice we will no longer take your order.
Thank you and be safe
