With winter weather comes the reality that we must make important decisions regarding school closures or delays. Please know that I am committed to making the best decision possible based on the most current and reliable information from weather professionals. We fully understand that school closures, early dismissals, or delays can be disruptive for families, but my primary concern is always the safety of our students and staff.

With this in mind, I want to share some key information regarding the forecast. Friday, according to weather predictions, will not be a day for safe travel. I strongly recommend that all of you plan for a district wide closure on Friday. For Thursday, however, the forecast remains uncertain. Snow is expected to enter our area mid-afternoon, but there is still some uncertainty around the timing of "mid-afternoon." If we are not able to receive a more definitive timeline for when accumulation will start in our area, we will err on the side of caution and make a decision accordingly.

I will be providing an update on Thursday’s plan later this afternoon. At this moment, please plan on being closed on Friday and I will update later today concerning Thursday.

I appreciate your patience and understanding as we work through these weather challenges. Please rest assured that all decisions will be made with the utmost care for the safety and well-being of our students, staff, and community.

-Jeff Senn, Superintendent
