Tomorrow, there is a chance for significant rainfall and high winds. The forecast shows conditions worsening at 3:00…right at dismissal. Several of the roads around the school can flood. Some of our bus routes could have issues and bus travel in high winds is dangerous. Due to these circumstances, there is a small chance we dismiss tomorrow at 1:30. We wanted to give you an opportunity to make plans based on this information. Our plan for tomorrow is to monitor the weather and make a decision at 11:00 a.m. We will ONLY notify you if we decide to close early. Your children are precious to us. We will always err on the side of caution when it comes to their safety.

With the weather situation for Thursday night looking increasingly worse, the Jr. High football game for Thursday against EPC has been postponed. The game will be made up on Monday at 7:00. There will be no 7th grade game.
