Due to the winter weather this weekend and out of an abundance of caution, the District will
have a two-hour delay to the start of school on Monday, January 26. School will begin two hours
late, which means the Elementary will start their day at 9:40, and the Middle and High schools
will begin at 9:50. Bus riders will be picked up two hours later than their normal pickup time.
The buses and buildings are ready to go, and we look forward to seeing your children tomorrow.
If something should change with the weather or road conditions, we will notify you as soon as
possible.
