It may be hard to believe, since recent temperatures have hovered in the 60’s and even 70’s at times, but the first day of winter is only four days away. The winter months bring the possibility of inclement weather and/or snow days. Last year, the e-Learning option was used for days missed due to inclement weather. Even though we live in an age where we have the ability for students to learn from home, we have decided not to let it take snow days away from our children. This winter, when enough snow accumulates that would justify closing school for the day, students’ only e-Learning assignments will be to play outside, build a snowman, go sledding, drink some hot cocoa, and be a kid. For the 2021-2022 school year, snow days will still be snow days.
As a reminder, announcements of cancellations will come through our new automated and text system, which also posts the message to Facebook and Twitter. As always, news channels and radio stations will be notified to broadcast the announcement.
If you have any questions about this, feel free to contact myself, Ms. Deming, or Mrs. Massey. We appreciate your cooperation and your continued support of our school district. HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL!
