Hello AR Community, The main entrance to CR is flooded out and is expected to be closed the remainder of the day. The central entrance adjacent to the main entrance remains open, please use that entrance when picking up your student. Tompkins Hill Road at Beatrice is flooded, however the highway remains open and we have not received any indication of forecasted highway closures at this time. The FUHSD bus and all HTA buses can still access CR safely and on schedule. -Principal King
