Good evening,

I wanted to provide an update regarding the weather forecast for Tuesday/Wednesday and its potential impact on school operations.

First, our bus company will be staging all buses across from the High School at the Sher-Le-Mon parking area until the threat of flooding subsides.

Secondly, the current forecast indicates the possibility of high winds and anticipated power outages in our area. Given the current information and timing of the storm, we will need to postpone any decisions on modifying or canceling Wednesday until the early morning hours.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation. Stay tuned for further updates, and please stay safe during these weather conditions.

Sincerely,

Philip D. Thornton, Ed.D.
