WAUKESHA, WI -- Bitterly-cold weather this week has forced the closure of numerous schools and agencies in Waukesha this week, including the Waukesha School District.

Here is a message posted Tuesday from Waukesha School District officials:

Tuesday evening: All events that begin or would normally end after 6 p.m. are canceled. After-school care programs that end before 6:00 p.m. would not have to be canceled.

Wednesday, all-day: All schools will be closed and no evening events will be taking place.

Thursday: The wind chill forecast for Thursday morning is not looking favorable, but being 48 hours from now, it is not 100 percent certain, per our most recent message from the National Weather Service. A final decision on Thursday will be made based on future forecasts.
