As you know, winter weather is forecasted for tomorrow morning. At this point the forecast has changed frequently. That said, I don't anticipate making a final decision until tomorrow morning. IF there is a need to cancel school tomorrow, I will put out a communication before 6:00 a.m.
Good luck to our boys basketball team as they begin the regional tournament tonight!

We have extended the deadline to turn the form in to tomorrow, Tuesday, 12/20. Paper forms need to be turned in to teachers or the office. There are extra paper forms in the office and now a link to a google form if you did not receive a paper copy. Google form expires tomorrow at 1 pm.
