Winter Weather
We are closely monitoring the weather warnings that have been issued. While it’s easy to hit the panic button with those warnings, we still need to be cautious in our decisions to cancel school. If we start to experience drifting roads this evening, there is a good chance that we will announce a decision before the morning. If not, we will drive roads between 4:30 am and 5:30 am to evaluate the conditions and issue our decision by 6 am.
Next week, we are also forecasted to see a significant drop in temperatures. Please remember that while we do consider wind chill, it is only a factor if the wind is actually strong enough to effect a wind chill. We will follow our normal protocols to evaluate both ambient temperature and wind each morning.
