At the November 12 Board Meeting, the Board approved a plan for how we will handle inclement weather days this school year: The first 5 inclement weather days will be traditional snow days, meaning schools will be closed with no instruction. Starting with the 6th inclement weather day, we will transition to Non-Traditional Instructional/Remote Learning Days to continue learning from home. We hope this plan provides clarity and helps families prepare for the winter months ahead!
