Spartans,
Given the range of current forecasts, it is highly likely, but not certain, that the district will experience a school closure on Friday and into next week.
We want to provide as much information as early and transparently as we can.
At this time, our plans are:
If a closure is needed, all students will participate in distance learning on Friday, January 23.
However, as we have learned from previous storms, even a slight shift in timing or precipitation type could allow us to remain open.
Families should begin preparing for childcare if needed.
The district will make a final decision regarding the status of school on Friday by Thursday at 6 PM.
To ensure students are prepared, PK–6 students who have completed the device checkout paperwork will be bringing devices home on Thursday.
PK-6 families who have not requested a device for Distance Learning and need one can do so here. Required paperwork must be submitted by Thursday, January 22, at 8 AM.
If a closure is necessary on Monday, January 26, it will be a traditional snow day.
Recognizing that additional winter weather closures may still be needed later this spring, this approach helps keep our last day of school as scheduled.
Should a school closure be necessary, announcements will be communicated by 6 AM (earlier when possible) via:
