Stay safe.

Madison Family,

Due to the amount of snow and forecast for windchills to be -20 or below in the morning, we will be taking a virtual learning day tomorrow, Monday.

Students should complete the work packet sent home by their teacher on Friday. The work should be returned when we return to school.

Stay safe and warm.

Madison Family,

As you are all aware, we have the potential for heavy snow Sunday into Monday which may impact our ability to transport students safely to and from school.

In preparation for any interruption to school, staff have prepared work packets with up to 2 days of work for students. These packets will be sent home with students by Friday.

Students are expected to complete any assigned work and return it to their teachers when we return to school.

We have no guarantees on what the weather will do so we want to be prepared in the event school will be canceled.

Stay safe.
