Good morning. Based on the predictions of 50+MPH gusts, snow and rain/ice, we have decided to dismiss school early today, March 4, 2025. School will be dismissed at 1:00 this afternoon. This is one of those situations where there really isn't a "right" answer, and after consulting with our transportation director about driving a big bus in those conditions, we believe that this is the right decision. Region basketball for tonight is also postponed.
