🌧️ Attention parents of bikers & walkers! 🚶♂️🚴♀️ Due to severe weather in the area, we are implementing our Rainy Day Plan today. For the safety of all students, bikers and walkers will need to be picked up in the car line today.
We just received notice that Krispy Kreme is unable to deliver doughnuts today, therefore we have to reschedule our pickup day. We should have a new pickup date late this afternoon. Thank you for understanding!
Due to inclement weather, dismissal and transportation may be delayed. We appreciate your patience as we work to ensure the safety of our students and staff, and we apologize for any inconvenience. Updates will be provided as they become available.
