We hope everyone stays warm and safe!

From our superintendent....

"The 4:35 NOA forecast has possible snow in the a.m. with accumulation between 2 and 4 p.m. Given this would not give us enough time to get students home if we did an early release, I have decided to make tomorrow an optional workday. We WILL have childcare available but will monitor throughout the day. "
