School Closings

Our District staff understands the decision to open or close schools in bad weather has a big effect on families. We also understand that our students are better served both academically and socially by being in school. As always, our top priority is the safety of our students.

To make any changes to your information, please contact the school secretary of the school your child attends.

In addition to Blackboard Connect, announcements will be made on the following:
