Families we are still anticipating the impending weather. As a precautionary measure, students will be taking home district issued devices and support meals in the event we resort to an E-learning day. Continue to monitor local news outlets and our official social media channels for the latest weather updates.
The Board Meeting scheduled for Monday, January 26th has been postponed until February 2nd due to the storm expected to impact our region this weekend.
Please note that the delay of the Board Meeting does not indicate a decision regarding school on Monday. At this time, no determination has been made about school operations. We value instructional time and will only resort to E-learning if absolutely necessary to ensure the safety of our students and staff.
An update regarding Monday’s schedule will be provided Sunday afternoon after we receive the latest and most accurate update from our Allendale Emergency Management Team.
We are working closely with the Allendale Emergency Management Team to monitor the impending storm. We will provide you with an update as soon as one becomes available. The safety of our staff and students remains a priority and we want everyone to be diligent and prepared. Please watch local news outlets and our social media channels for updates.
Tomorrow is the 100th day of the 2025-2026 school year. Students may dress as they see themselves at 100 years of age.
