We are monitoring the weather forecast for today, April 17. Current information shows a potential for severe weather in our area between 3:00–4:00 PM.
We will continue to track conditions throughout the day. If you prefer to pick up your student early, you’re welcome to do so using your building’s normal check-out procedures.
At this time, we do not anticipate an early release, but that could change depending on how conditions develop over the coming hours. Also, we recommend having a backup plan in place this afternoon in case schedules change.
Any updates, including changes to after-school activities, will be shared through our usual communication channels.
We will continue to review conditions and make decisions based on student and staff safety. Thank you for your cooperation.
