Because we are still in a blizzard warning we will cancel school for today (November 10th). Remember tomorrow is Veterans Day so there is no school tomorrow. Thank you.
We are currently in a blizzard warning that is to begin at 4:00 AM tomorrow morning. We will not have school tomorrow if that blizzard warning continues, however because we currently do not have any snow on the ground and we are on the edge of the blizzard warning we are going to wait until early tomorrow morning to see if things change to make the official call. Thank you for your patience.
