Inclement Weather
 We want to inform you about the possibility of school closures due to inclement weather on Tuesday and Wednesday this week. The district is closely monitoring the situation and will send out a notice regarding any changes to the schedule by 2 PM on Monday.

Please note that Monday is a holiday in observance of Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday, and there will be no school. In preparation for potential closures, we sent home devices and an MLK choice board with students on Friday. If you did not fill out the necessary forms or your child was not in school or left early, they did not receive their device.

Please keep an eye out for an email on Monday regarding weather closures and schoolwork expectations. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Stay safe and warm!
