Reminders
Emergency Closure Reminder
As winter weather approaches, we would like to remind families about the protocols that have been established for school closings, delays, and early dismissals, as well as the cancellation of extra-curricular activities.
In the event that weather impacts the school day, we use several information vehicles to communicate with parents and community members. All Emergency Closure information can be found on our website here.
