Hello Parents and Guardians:

Once again, road conditions are expected to be poor tomorrow morning. As a result, the district will have a 2-hour delayed opening of school on Monday, March 2.

This 2-hour delay means that students should report to school by 10:40 am. If you receive transportation, the pickup time for your child will be 2 hours later than the regular pick up time.

Please note that the Before School Childcare Program will be closed tomorrow morning.

I wish everyone a safe and warming night.
