Families are advised to check directly with their local district for exact timing details and transportation updates.

Travel & Safety Reminder
Even in areas without delays, drivers should remain cautious. Black ice and untreated side roads may still pose risks during early hours. Allow extra travel time and monitor local weather updates throughout the morning.
Stay Updated
Weather conditions can change quickly. Additional delays or closures may be announced as forecasts evolve. Make sure notifications are enabled from your school district and keep an eye on official announcements.
