Dear Raider Families,

I hope you are enjoying our winter wonderland. As winter weather becomes more frequent, please take a moment to review our inclement weather information here. Decisions to close school are made with great care and are based on several factors, including guidance from the National Weather Service, projected temperatures and wind chills, road conditions, transportation logistics, and the overall safety of students and staff.
