School will be released at the regular time today. Winter weather in the afternoon can present challenges, and we want to keep you informed about today’s schedule. When making decisions about weather-related changes, we consider several factors, including:
The difficulty of sending students home earlier than expected and ensuring 100% family notification.
The impact on extracurricular activities, including practice times and scheduled events.
Transportation logistics, including coordination with other districts.
Schedule Updates for Today:
No middle school practices.
Middle school wrestling will proceed as scheduled.
Archery practice is canceled.
Paterson School District will drop off students here at their normal time.
High school practices will continue as scheduled.
Reminder: There is no school tomorrow—ironically, it’s an unused snow day! Additionally, there is no school on Monday in observance of Presidents’ Day.
Thank you for your understanding and flexibility. Please stay safe!
