Delayed start:

Due to inclement weather later this evening and possibly early tomorrow morning, we will have a 2-hour delayed school start time for Wednesday. Buses will run approximately 2 hours later than normal, and school will begin 2-hours later. We ask that parents do not drop off their students at school prior to 2 hours before school starts as we may not have staff available to supervise the children. Due to the late start of school, breakfast will not be served today. Parents if you are in an area where you feel it is unsafe to travel to school, please use your best judgment regarding sending your student to school. If you choose to keep your student at home, please send a note to the school office as you normally would do when they are absent; this absence will be excused with a parent note.
