February 4, 2026
Thank you to our students, families, and staff for your flexibility, resilience, and understanding during last week’s disruptions caused by snow and extremely cold temperatures. This was an unusual weather week, as both snow piles and prolonged cold created challenges throughout several days. Not to mention the power outages and water main breaks last Thursday. I appreciate everyone’s patience and partnership as we worked to keep students and staff safe.
As a reminder, the safety of our students and staff is always our top priority. To guide weather-related delays and closures, I rely on hourly forecast data and safety guidance from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA.GOV ) for our district zip codes. The following thresholds help inform those decisions:
Wind Chill
If the forecasted wind chill is −15°F or lower at 7:00 a.m., we will consider a two-hour delay. If the wind chill is forecasted to remain −15°F or lower at 9:00 a.m., we will consider closing schools for the day.
Extreme Cold Air Temperatures
If the forecasted air temperature is −10°F or lower at 7:00 a.m., we will consider a two-hour delay. If the temperature is forecasted to remain −10°F or lower at 9:00 a.m., we will consider closing schools for the day.
Linked here are our Inclement Weather Guidelines.
As a result of the inclement weather last week, we had to reschedule several events. Two of those events are being held tonight.
Enrollment Management / Redistricting Update - Board Work Session
Tonight, we will host our next Enrollment Management and Redistricting Community Engagement Work Session from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. at the Warren Education and Community Center, 975 North Post Road.
During this session, we will share updates on the overall process and review findings from models that would allow our fifth-grade students to return to and be served within our elementary schools.
