We recently spoke to the Road Commission and they feel the roads are passable at this time and it is not imperative for us to send students home. But, if parents feel the need to pick up their students early, it will be excused and will not count against them as an absence. We are however canceling all after school activities, please ensure your child is picked up at 3:20pm.
