The YMCA Kid’s Club after-school program at Baker Elementary is canceled for today (8/4). The YMCA will operate after-school care at the Y until 5:30 PM. Since parents cannot call the Baker office to notify them of their wishes Baker parents will need to transport their child to the YMCA. The Willard and Deerfield students in the Kid's Club program will be dropped off at the YMCA instead of Baker Elementary.
Sorry for the inconvenience!

Randolph Central Families,
Due to a power outage affecting Baker Elementary, Willard Elementary, and our alternative school, all Randolph Central Schools will dismiss two hours early today. Our buses operate on a single tiered system with transfers from school to school which makes it difficult to dismiss just the affected buildings. It also appears the power outage may have damaged some equipment in the affected schools. So, students will be dismissed two hours earlier than their normal dismissal time, and buses will run accordingly.
Thank you for your understanding and flexibility.
