Out of an abundance of caution, we are calling off school for one more day. There will be not classes tomorrow, February 4th. We will make decisions on extracurricular activities as the morning progresses, and, if we see significant improvement coaches and sponsors will communicate this information to participants. We are confident that we’ll be back to school Monday as usual. Enjoy the weekend!
