As frigid air moves in tonight with temperatures falling below zero Friday morning and wind chills -25F to -15F, there is an increased risk of frostbite and hypothermia with prolonged exposure. We urge all Red Wolves families to take extra safety precautions! Please limit time outdoors, and if you must venture out in winter conditions, a winter survival kit is strongly recommended. Please refer to the checklist of items to keep in your vehicle. Stay safe and warm!

Good Evening Red Wolves Family,

Due to the combination of snow, wind, and sub-zero temps tomorrow morning, we will be closing school for Monday, January 19th. We made the decision tonight to allow our families to plan accordingly for childcare. Stay safe, warm, and have a great night!
