Good morning, parents and guardians,
Due to the significant amount of snow and current road conditions, school will be on a 90-minute delay today. School will begin at 10:30 AM, following our Monday late-start schedule.
Please stay safe and use extra caution while traveling. Also, be sure students come dressed in appropriate clothing and footwear for the snowy and very wet conditions.
Most respectfully,
Mrs. Cheryl L. Fried, Ed.D.
Principal

Full-day preschool will start 90 minutes late. Afternoon half-day preschool will run on the normal schedule. Thank you.
