Waukee High School Students Can Pick Up Books, Study Materials This Morning
Last week's blizzard gave students an early start on winter break. But, it pushed finals for high school students into January. If you need to grab books or study materials, the school will be open Wednesday morning.

With school cancelled on Dec. 20 and 21 by the blizzard, Waukee High School has made plans to extend Term Two for two more days after break.
Waukee High School will be open from 8 a.m. to noon on Dec. 26 for students to stop by their locker to pick up study materials.
