Dear Students, Staff and Patrons,

Snow is impacting the morning commute today with slippery conditions on roadways.

Buses may be delayed a few minutes but school is starting on time.

Please know that parents may decide to keep children home due to adverse weather conditions. Schools understand and respect this decision and will work with families.

We urge caution on all roadways and sidewalks. We urge everyone to please allow extra time necessary for safe travel.

Also, be aware of slippery conditions while walking on school grounds, in parking lots, sidewalks and other walkways around our schools.

The safety of students, teachers and staff, as well as members of the community, is very important to us.
