The Storm of the Century!

We have been told since Sunday evening that a severe winter storm was coming.  Today we are told that we will have blizzard conditions for much of the next twenty-four hours.

But right now, at 3:00 PM on February 1, it is not even snowing.

The National Weather Service just concluded a special weather briefing that indicated our region should receive between 8 and 16 inches of snow by Wednesday night.

We will try and update parents as soon as it becomes apparent that the weather report is accurate.  If at all possible we will try and get the call out tonight before the 11:00 PM news.  If the National Weather Service is accurate we should start to receive a heavy snowfall between 5:00 and 8:00 PM.
 
As always, our goal is to communicate as clearly and as quickly as possible.  The safety of our students and staff is important to us.  If we do receive 12 inches of snow or more we will monitor the situation carefully and reopen school when it is safe to do so.

We will use our Instant Alert system and the radio and television stations to get the word out this evening.  We will also use our district website and Twitter.
