This morning, we woke up to our first measurable snowfall of the year!  Officials from the school district have assessed all road conditions to all 11 schools within the school district this morning.  Roads are slippery in spots but the road conditions at this time do not warrant any changes to school schedules.  However, we do understand that conditions may vary around the area and some families may have worse conditions in their neighborhoods. We wanted to assure you that if your student is absent today due to snow conditions, it will be considered excused.
