School Closes 3 hours early – Last Day |
If inclement weather conditions force us to close schools more than seven days, it will be necessary to alter the school calendar. These additional days will be scheduled as required at the end of the school year. The calendar will be reduced up to 5 days if not needed to offset days/hours when schools are closed due to inclement weather.
