With the cold temperatures overnight, there is a possibility of refreeze that could make sidewalks, and parking lots slippery in the morning. Our crews will be working early to treat surfaces, but please use caution when arriving.
We also ask for your patience with buses during pickup and drop-off, as drivers may take extra time to ensure student safety.
