Good Afternoon Tiger Families,

Sleep in on Monday and enjoy that long weekend!
Remember breakfast and lunch are FREE to all students EVERYDAY!!
We deeply appreciate the understanding and patience of our families, staff, and community as we navigate through the winter months. The safety and well-being of our students, staff, and families remain our highest priorities. Deciding to close schools or implement a two-hour delay is never taken lightly, and it is not an exact science. We recognize that these decisions have significant implications for our entire community.
Several factors must be considered when making a delay or closing decision. Our operations and transportation teams closely monitor weather reports, sheriff’s office advisories, and sometimes the decisions of other area districts. Beginning at 4:00 a.m., our operations team physically drives through parts of the city to assess road conditions firsthand, and we attempt to make a firm decision by 5:45.
Another critical factor is the timing of inclement weather. The superintendent and operations team communicated this morning at 5:30 a.m. and the conditions appeared manageable. We did not experience snow drifts or ice that more rural districts faced. Our buses begin their routes at 6:00 a.m. However, the sheriff’s office issued an advisory at 7:44 a.m., after buses were already on the road. Attempting to delay or cancel school once students and staff are en route poses a greater safety concern.
Safety remains our guiding principle, and we also consider the broader impact of school closures on our community. For many students, school is a place for learning and a source of nutrition, providing both breakfast and lunch. When schools close, some children lose access to these essential meals, a reality that heavily influences our decision-making process.
As we move through the Ohio winter season, it is vital that all students are dressed for the weather. If students need outerwear or other clothing, please contact your school’s office, as some items are on hand. A decision about Tuesday’s subzero temperatures will be made over the weekend and communicated as early as possible.
Thank you again for your understanding and flexibility.
