Sunday Important Message: Watching the Weather!

School will open On-Time for Monday March 16 with an announcement about any updates to the school day Monday morning

We are watching the weather and we are expecting a strong storm on Monday, March 16, which could bring severe thunderstorms, high winds, hail and the potential for tornadoes. Current forecasts indicate the strongest elements of the storm may move through our area between approximately 3:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m., just as many of our students typically begin outdoor after-school activities and athletic practices. We will continue to monitor the forecast closely and will share any updates on Monday morning.

We encourage families to take a few moments to plan ahead for tomorrow’s weather:

Plan for bus stops: Consider how students will safely get from the bus stop to home if heavy rain or stronger elements of the storm develops.
Map a safe route home: Students who walk should think ahead about the safest route and places to shelter if weather conditions worsen.
Student drivers should use extra caution or seek alternative transport: Wet roads, strong winds and reduced visibility can make driving conditions more difficult, especially for inexperienced drivers[/quote]

This is not accurate timing.  Per Capital Weather game: "The storms’ timing still needs to be pinned down, but they are most probable between about 1 and 7 p.m. Monday, when an organized and violent squall line is expected to pass. That said, widely scattered showers and storms, some of which could be intense, are possible before this window, as early as 9 or 10 a.m"[/quote]

School districts appear to be engaged in wishful thinking that it will be 3:00 - 7:00 pm. None of the forecasts are showing that it will wait until 3:00.  [/quote]
