UPDATE (12:44 PM): The Yuma Union High School District (YUHSD) has provided an update saying Gila Ridge High School will be closed Wednesday.
According to YUHSD, this is due to the “continued repair of a broken pipe that services the air conditioning for the school.”
In a statement, YUHSD says:
“ALL students will attend class virtually from home using the Canvas Learning Management System. Students are expected to visit each of their Canvas courses to check assignments, instructions, and updates from his or her teachers.
Your child’s attendance is critical! They will need to submit their attendance by clicking on the E-Learning button located on the homepage of every teacher’s Canvas page. Students will only need to click the E-Learning button once.
Practices and athletic events for fall sports and band will proceed. Please look for communication from your child’s coaches for details of any modifications to times or locations.
Out-of-season sports and after-school clubs will not hold practice or meetings this week.
The YUHSD facilities team is partnering with our vendor to resolve the problem as quickly as possible.”
YUHSD says they will provide an “update for the status of school for Thursday, August 28,” at 1:00 p.m. Wednesday via ParentSquare or on their social media accounts.
