Weather Issues
RECESS during the Winter months:
Outdoor recess will take place only if the real feel of 25 degrees.
We like children to wear warm coats when they go outside. If you do not require your child to wear a coat outside please let their teacher know.
In the case of weather-related cancellations, early dismissal, and delayed openings there are many methods you can use to stay informed.
The district communicates in the following ways:
Connect Ed., Local News & radio stations, Facebook, District Website/about us/closings.
