Kennewick School District Changes for Wednesday:

**Changes To On-Site Services, Meal Service, K-2 Packet Pick-Up** At this time, the forecast from the state Department of Ecology does not show improvement to the air quality until this weekend. Based on the latest information, the district has made the following changes to district services: There will be no on-site remote learning support or on-site Tier 3 services for students for the remainder of this week. On-site services will resume on Monday, Sept. 21. Meals for three days (Wednesday, Thursday and Friday) will be ready for pick up from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 16 at Amistad, Amon Creek, Eastgate, Fuerza, Westgate, Chinook, Desert Hills, Highlands, Horse Heaven Hills, Park, Kamiakin and Southridge. There will be no meal pick-up on Thursday and Friday. Please keep others safe by wearing a face mask when picking up meals.

Thank you for your flexibility this week as we have adapted to the changing air conditions. We look forward to resuming bus stop meal service, on-site remote learning support and on-site Tier 3 services for students next week.

RICHLAND SCHOOL DISTRICT: 

AIR QUALITY UPDATE: Given the poor air quality forecast for Wednesday, Sept. 16, any in-person activities such as supply pick-up at schools will be postponed to limit exposure for students, families and staff. Schools will contact students and families to reschedule those activities.

PASCO SCHOOL DISTRICT: 

Pasco School District continues to monitor the air quality conditions in our area and its potential impact on our meal service for students. We will make a determination early Wednesday morning about whether we will be able to provide meals for our students. Please watch for further messaging from the District on Wednesday morning with updated information about our plans. We will share that message via email, text message, the PSD smartphone app, the PSD website, and through social media.
