As colder weather approaches, we want to remind everyone that if winter weather conditions require us to close for the safety of students and staff, we will notify families through multiple channels. An email will be sent to all families, and updates will also be posted on our social media pages, the school website, and all major news outlets.
Please note that there may be times when only one campus is closed. In those instances, that information will be clearly stated in the announcement.
Stay safe and warm this season!
