Our goal is to open schools and offices on Monday, February 2. We anticipate a two-hour delayed opening (Code Orange).

We will reevaluate conditions and notify the community on Sunday, February 1, by 5:00 p.m. regarding operational status for Monday.

Families are encouraged to use their best judgment if travel conditions are unsafe. We will provide flexibility regarding absences. No student should be penalized because of weather-related challenges in getting to school safely.

If a Two-Hour Delay (Code Orange) Is Confirmed for Monday, Feb.2  

Under Code Orange:

• Schools and offices will open with a two-hour delay.
• Emergency personnel must report to work on time and are not eligible for liberal leave.
