Forecasted wind chills and significant snowfall are creating dangerously cold conditions, and for student safety, in-person classes will not be held.
At this time, this decision applies only to Monday. However, current forecasts indicate that extreme cold conditions may continue later in the week. Families may want to begin thinking ahead and making contingency plans in case additional E-Learning Days or school closures become necessary. Any further decisions will be communicated as soon as possible.
We appreciate your patience and flexibility as we continue to monitor the weather and make decisions based on student safety.
Thank you for your understanding.
