1-28-2022 Early Dismissal

Dear School Community,

We are dismissing students early today. Road conditions are deteriorating and our sidewalks and driveways are beginning to ice as well. The forecast shows a lull in precipitation around 11AM or so and then we should receive more precipitation. As a result, we are using the lull in conditions to our advantage and dismissing students based on the schedule below: 

The schedule is as follows:

High School Dismissal–12:30 PM

Student drivers who are uncomfortable driving in these conditions can leave their cars in the parking lot and take district transportation.

Middle School Dismissal–1:00 PM

Elementary School Dismissal–1:30 PM

Other important notes:

There will be no afternoon Kindergarten

There will be no extended day Kindergarten

All extracurricular activities are canceled

Offices will close at 3:00 PM

I apologize for the late notice and inconvenience. We were not expecting conditions to deteriorate this quickly. We are hoping that the forecast will cooperate with our dismissal plans.

Dr. Marc Bertrando
Superintendent
