❄Due to heavy snowfall districtwide and road conditions in the rural areas of the district, there will be no school on Wednesday, Jan. 10, 2024.
💻This will be a virtual instruction day, also known as an AMI Day. AMI stands for Alternative Methods of Instruction. Students will learn from home.
Despite efforts to get schools ready for tomorrow, winds and additional snowfall have combined to create drifts in areas previously cleared. Some rural roads have not yet been plowed. Our law enforcement and public works partners with other agencies have advised that there may be other areas of concern for drivers in the morning.
Superintendent Dr. Mike Slagle said that, “I understand that any time school is not in session as originally expected, it can cause disruptions for families. Please know that our team will always strive to make the safest, most prudent weather-related decisions, and also will take into account the ability for all parts of school operations to run smoothly. I appreciate your understanding while we deal with this difficult week of weather.”
