Winter Weather Reminders 
With colder weather temperatures and winter conditions, roadways may be icy or hazardous, causing delays. Please allow extra time for your travels and plan accordingly to ensure the safety and timely arrival of students.  
Make sure to bundle up students with warm winter gear – hats, gloves, and layers! This will help students to be comfortable and safe while outside.
Stay warm and stay safe!
