Date: January 28, 2019 Dear Parents and Guardians, School will be closed Wednesday - January 30th 2019, & Thursday - January 31st 2019 due to the predicted wind chill warning. We believe there are too many variables at this time to wait for the night/day of to make a decision. This allows parents and guardians the opportunity to make arrangements for child care. Thank you for your continued support and understanding. Thanks, Kent Stauder
