Code Orange: Emergency personnel must report to work on time and are not eligible for liberal leave.

Families are encouraged to use their best judgment if travel conditions are unsafe. Absences will be excused, and students will be supported in making up any missed work.

Some road and sidewalk conditions may persist. Families whose students typically walk to school should assess routes carefully and consider providing transportation if needed. If you are unable to provide transportation, your child should stay home and the absence will be excused with a note.
