Wow—yesterday’s snowfall was truly historic! We hope you and your family had the opportunity to make special memories together. ❄☃

Due to unsafe road conditions for both staff and students, all schools and district offices will remain closed on Thursday, January 23 and Friday, January 24. This also includes all afterschool activities, as well as before and after care programs through Community School.

We have been closely monitoring road conditions and ice accumulation in collaboration with the National Weather Service in Mobile and Santa Rosa Emergency Management. Any snow that melts today will very likely refreeze overnight causing hazardous driving conditions again on Thursday and Friday.

Thank you for your understanding, and we hope you continue to enjoy this unexpected time together! We look forward to seeing our students and staff back on Monday, January 27.
