No decision has been made about Wednesday’s schedule. “We are looking at the weather forecast and will make a decision at some time today,” Communication Director Andi Rosen said.

During the morning hours, faculty and administrators will keep a close eye on student safety. “All our principals have reviewed our procedures with staff,” Rosen said. There will be no strenuous physical activity.
