With the recent updates from the National Weather Service, I am canceling school tomorrow. All buildings and district offices will be closed.
Have a great weekend!
Tomorrow, January 17, 2024, we will have a delayed opening so that our facilities department has some extra time to make sure all of the sidewalks and parking lots around the buildings are safe. Our crew took a lot of time today to get everything cleaned up, but as quickly as it melted it started to freeze. This will give us plenty of time to make sure everyone arrives to school safely.
Due to inclement weather with the track of the storm all schools and district offices will be closed today. Stay safe!
Due to the track of the incoming snow storm, all schools and district offices will operate on a delayed opening tomorrow. The safety and well-being of our students, staff, and community are my top priorities. I will continue to monitor the situation carefully, and any further updates will be communicated promptly.
