Due to the weather, FFA chicken boxes will be picked up next week.
Bomber Families,
We have been closely following the radar and collecting updates from the National Weather Service regarding the impending winter storm. Our county is officially under a winter storm warning. Now that we have a clearer picture of what the next couple of days will look like, I wanted to share our plan with you.
We will release students from school at 1:30 p.m. on Thursday, January 9, and there will be no school on Friday, January 10.
I know a 1:30 p.m. closure is inconvenient for some, but my top concern is ensuring our kids and staff get home safely, and this early release should allow for that.
As you know, these types of storms are ever-changing, and so there is still a possibility we will have to adjust the early release time. If we need to make changes to this plan, I will let you know as soon as that decision is made.
For now, If you have alternate plans for your young children on early release days, please make sure their teachers are aware so that adjustments can be made tomorrow. Remember that when we release early, our Flight Crew program is not open, so please make your children's teachers aware of how they will be getting home.
Thank you for your continued patience and support. If things change, I will reach out to you all through the normal channels, but I am hopeful that this plan allows us as much instructional time as possible while also ensuring enough time is allowed for safe travel.
Allyson Dewey
