All before-school practices and activities have been canceled as well. We will continue to monitor the weather throughout the early afternoon and determine whether after-school practices and activities will be impacted.
Based on the forecast provided to us at this time, we plan for after-school activities and practices to take place. Again, if it changes, we will communicate otherwise as soon as possible.
