In preparation for the forecasted heavy rainfall over the next couple of days, we wanted to let parents know that the school schedule may need to be adjusted. There is a possibility that we may need to do an early release tomorrow afternoon and a potential for a possible delay on Thursday. Please make sure that you have alternative plans for your children and communicate those plans to the school as needed. We are monitoring the weather closely and will keep you posted if we need to change our normal operating schedule. Thank you!
