EMS Weekly Newsletter

As we head into the weekend, the forecast is calling for a significant snowstorm, with the potential for more than a foot of snow. While it’s too early to make any decisions, this type of weather may impact school operations early next week. As always, we will continue to monitor conditions closely and communicate any updates as soon as decisions are made.

In the meantime, I want to remind everyone to stay safe, and if a snow day does come our way, enjoy the time with family and enjoy the fun that winter can bring. Whether it’s sledding, snowmen, or a cozy day at home, these moments offer a welcome pause from our routines and a chance to reset.

I am incredibly grateful for our EMS families, students, and staff. Your flexibility, patience, and support, especially during unpredictable moments, are what allow us to navigate challenges together with positivity and care. Thank you for being such a strong and supportive community.

Stay safe, stay warm, and enjoy the weekend.
