UPDATE FOR MONDAY, JANUARY 23, 2012

Please check this section on winter weather days for updates...for reference...
Full day will attempt to run on schedule, weather depending. Should weather determine a 2 hour delay, then a
2 hour delay means am classes run 11-1 and they pack a light lunch while snack is still provided for drink for all, and pm classes (all) run 1-3. Both classes are shortened and dismissal will begin for session 1 at 12:55 pm. Travel safe, and remember to carry your emergency school contact wallet card.
