Weather Information Update
We are closely monitoring the weather predictions for Friday. A decision about how school will be handled on Friday will be made closer to the potential weather event when more accurate forecasts and information are available. Delaying this decision allows the district to determine a plan for school on Friday that maximizes student learning while also minimizing the burden on parents who need supervision for their children. We will make every effort to make a decision regarding school on Friday prior to dismissal on Thursday.
