Inclement Weather Update
Our Inclement Weather Day Tracker has been updated.
Today marks our first AMI (Alternative Methods of Instruction) Day for the school year.
We have four AMI days remaining before we would need to transition to traditional snow days, which—if needed—would be added to the end of the school year.
Thank you for your continued flexibility and support as we work to keep students learning while prioritizing safety.
