This is a different kind of message than normal. In this message, I'm announcing that the United School District intends to have school tomorrow Wednesday January 17th, 2024. (we will check in the am however to make sure things haven't worsened) Tomorrow's temperatures return to a better level, but we also know that there are a number of rural roads that present safety concerns for all travelers, but particularly our buses. The stacked snow will prevent buses from turn arounds that they normally make and some roads just are unable to be improved at this point in time. That said, we will have school tomorrow but our buses will not be able to get everywhere that they normally do. Those of you in remote areas please be patient. We know this isn't ideal and hopefully we'll soon be back to our normal transportation processes. If you are able, please let us know if you make other arrangements for your students.
If you simply can't get to a good location and can't get your students to us at the school, please contact your attendance center so that they can account for this absence appropriately.
Huge thanks to those snowplow drivers and highway workers working to get us back on track. Thank you all for your patience as we work to make the best of this situation.
