Parents Inclement Weather Instruction Guide
Schools and office buildings will be closed. All activities, including athletic events and field trips, are canceled on Friday and Saturday. The District’s ICE (Inclement Conditions Evaluation) Team evaluated the forecasts, and the decision was made based on the predictions and timing for snow and/or ice accumulation, which may result in unsafe road conditions, downed power lines, and loss of electrical services. Because we are an approved eLearning district, the day will not have to be made up, so long as instruction is provided to students.
