Anticipamos un clima frío, pero seco hasta el miércoles 7 de enero, con temperaturas tan bajas como los 30 grados F. El período de tiempo que estamos monitoreando de cerca es el Miércoles por la noche hasta las primeras horas del Jueves debido a que existe posible precipitación. Continuaremos monitoreando el pronóstico del clima de cerca y les brindaremos actualizaciones lo antes posible si las condiciones cambian.
Si es necesario cerrar las escuelas el Jueves 9 de enero, haremos todo lo posible para comunicarlo para la noche del miércoles 8 de enero.

Las familias serán notificadas por mensaje de texto, llamada, correo electrónico, redes sociales, nuestro sitio web y medios de comunicación locales.

Happy 2025! We are excited to welcome our students back from Winter Break tomorrow, Wednesday, Jan. 8 for a great second semester!
We are closely monitoring weather conditions this week and want to keep you informed. As of now, school is scheduled to begin as planned tomorrow, Wednesday, Jan. 8.
We anticipate cold, but dry weather through Wednesday, Jan. 7 with temperatures as low as 30 degrees. The timeframe we are closely monitoring is Wednesday night into early Thursday due to potential precipitation. We will continue to monitor the forecast closely and provide updates as soon as possible if conditions change.
If it is necessary to close schools on Thursday, Jan. 9, we will make every effort to communicate this by the evening of Wednesday, Jan. 8. However, since weather conditions can change quickly, a decision made on Thursday morning will be finalized by 5:15 a.m., and the notification process will begin immediately after. Families will be notified via text, call, email, social media, our website, and local news outlets.
