Update- Continued school closure Thursday

Due to ongoing safety concerns from the ice, school will be closed on Thursday.

While many of the main roads in the area are clearing, several of the roads our staff and students rely on for commuting remain unsafe. In addition, parking lots and sidewalks have not yet sufficiently cleared and continue to pose safety risks.

The safety of our students and staff is our top priority, and we appreciate your understanding as we navigate these conditions. We will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as needed. Please continue to monitor social media and parent square for updates.
