| Car line, recess, and weather-related delays/closings As colder weather approaches, more families are driving students rather than walking, leading to longer car lines. We’re working to assist students out of vehicles and manage traffic efficiently. Please plan your arrival time to account for potential delays and ensure students enter the building before doors close at 8:10 a.m. For recess, students will go outside when the wind chill is above 18°F. To play in the snow, they must wear snow pants and change into boots. SchoolMessenger is our text alert system for delays and closings. When you registered your student for school, you likely opted in to receive these alerts. To check or update your contact information, access SchoolMessenger through your PowerSchool account. |
