2-Hour Delay on March 15, 2023:
Dear Laker Families,
Our district team is having trouble keeping up with clearing the snow at our campuses and transportation center for tomorrow. We are experiencing some equipment failures, which have compounded this situation. We continue to be in close communication with our highway departments. To help families prepare, tonight we are announcing a two-hour delay for tomorrow, March 15.
It is unclear as to whether or not we will be able to open tomorrow. We understand that waiting can be frustrating, so we apologize.
Please know that nothing is more important than our students' safety. If school is closed tomorrow, we will make that announcement as early as possible. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
