Crews need additional time to clear snow, and some bus routes are not drivable. We want to prioritize everyone’s safety; therefore, classes are cancelled for tomorrow, Wednesday, January 8, 2025, due to ongoing winter weather conditions. Please stay safe and warm; we look forward to seeing you all on Thursday.


We were excited to welcome everyone back tomorrow, but Mother Nature has other plans! Due to unsafe travel conditions and needing extra time to clear parking lots and walkways, school is cancelled tomorrow, Tuesday, January 7, 2025. Stay safe, stay warm, and enjoy an extended winter break day. We can't wait to see you all soon.
