A few clarifications for the rest of the week:

1. We will reschedule Parent-Teacher Conferences for another day. More TBA.

2. If we have school tomorrow, we will have the "Bring Someone You Love to Lunch" for grades K & 1. If we don't have school tomorrow, we will reschedule.

3. We will still have Friday and Monday off, as planned, as too many people have already made plans for the long weekend. If we have to make up any days, we are getting out earlier than anyone else in the area, so we will make them up in May/June, if necessary.

Stay warm!
