Oh my goodness! That feels like too much to process all at once, and it hits too close to March 2020, as you said. So sorry 😞

It does. I think it's hitting us all like that. I could see it in my teen's face. We could see that coming though, but had no idea of the extent. I think. I know the pandemic has affected all of us in different ways.

Please keep us up to date on the reason for this. There’s something fishy about this. Why all the secrecy ?

I have no idea. On Wednesday there was "computer server problems" and the finals had to be taken on paper!! Imagine that! So they knew then. Not knowing we speculate. Sometimes not knowing the truth our minds can go to the darkest places, but until then. If there ever is a then or transparency

That is wild. I'm sorry this happened and hope they take steps to prevent it in the future.

It is. I hope so too.

How bizarre! Did they have finals already? I hope this resolves in a satisfying way.

I hope so too. I think of data breaches. Your mind goes everywhere when you don't know all of the facts sometimes. We may never get the answers.

My son missed his Spanish final. So that part he didn't, but the rest. The last day was Friday. They closed Wednesday night

So odd. Must be something bad or there would have been notice about it. Clearly unplanned.

Oh no, sorry to hear this! My kiddos last day isn’t until next week. The last day of the school year is a celebration no matter what grade they’re in. Sending virtual hugs my friend.

So many students didn't get to have graduations and end of year parties. Luckily the senior class is graduating tonight. They are not at the school,but at an arena. It's a huge school district

I'm so sorry. I hope everything is okay at the school(s). Would the kids get to clean out their lockers or desks if they haven't done so? What about graduation in other grades?

The seniors are having their graduation tonight but that's it. The rest of the ceremonies and graduations for other grades were cancelled

They are not allowed into the school until further notice. I'm sure they will bring them at certain times to clean out lockers and get supplies

Wow that's so weird. Makes me think it's more than a cyber thing if they won't even let them in the building

They are allowed to go back in now to retrieve their materials, next week. Still so much speculation, but no real answer. Computer hacks are becoming more common businesss of all sizes and schools
