We understand the excitement, the frustrations and all the other emotions you may be experiencing as a result of the continuing school cancellations. We truly understand the issues it causes our families. However, we want to make certain our students and staff are safe on days such as we have experienced over the past two weeks. With that said, due to the anticipation of accumulating snow beginning Friday morning and communities without water, we will cancel classes on Friday, February 6, 2026. This will be a weather (snow) day, not an NTI day.
