Due to extreme cold temperatures and a forecasted wind chill in the single digits Monday morning, we are modifying our schedule for the safety of our students and staff.
Monday, December 15 will now operate on a two-hour delay for both students and staff and school will dismiss at the regular time Monday afternoon.
Please note: We were originally scheduled for an early release day on Monday. That has been changed to a two-hour delay and dismissal will be at our regular time.
Tuesday through Friday of next week will continue as scheduled early release days.
🧣🧤Please ensure your child dresses warmly for the cold weather and if you have any questions, please contact your child's school.
Thank you and stay warm!
