❄️ Snow Routes in Effect ❄️
Snow routes will be in effect as we return to school. Please review the attached graphics carefully, as they outline the routes that will be used while winter weather conditions continue to improve.
As you plan for the morning, please keep these safety tips in mind:
• Give yourself extra time when traveling to and from school, especially if you are dropping off or picking up a student.
• Please be patient during drop off and pick up, as traffic may move more slowly than normal.
• Snow and ice may still be hugging roadways, and isolated icy patches are possible, especially in shaded or less traveled areas.
• Remind your student to use caution when arriving on campus, particularly in areas where icy patches may still be present.
• Allow extra space between your vehicle and the one in front of you during drop off and pick up.
Thank you for your patience and support as we work to keep students and staff safe. 💙🩶

❄️ No School Monday, February 2, 2026 ❄️
After being out on district roads today, we have determined there are still major, lengthy ice spots on several highways. In addition, icy conditions have made it unsafe for buses to turn around in key and strategic locations throughout the district. Because of this, we are unable to establish safe and reliable snow routes for tomorrow.
School will be closed on Monday, February 2.
As we prepare to return to school, we anticipate operating on snow routes for the first few days once school is back in session. Those routes will be announced tomorrow so families have time to plan.
We miss our students and we are sure they miss us, too, but safety will always come first. Please continue to watch for updates through our usual communication channels. 💙🤍
