Dear Middle School Families,
Due to the expected inclement weather tomorrow, January 10, 2025, I want to inform you that middle school students will be dismissed early at 12:25 p.m. I kindly ask that you make arrangements to pick up your child at that time, allowing all of our faculty and staff to return home safely as well.
I understand that everyone’s circumstances may differ. If you feel it is unsafe to send your child to school tomorrow, please know that all absences will be excused. Students who attend will receive lunch before dismissal, and we will still have all eight periods, though each will be shortened. For this reason, there is no need for your child to bring PE clothes. Additionally, please note that after-school care will not be available tomorrow.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. I hope you can enjoy some extra time at home and that you remain safe throughout the storm.
