⚠️Important Weather Message⚠️ All schools will be open tomorrow on a normal schedule.

With another round of freezing temperatures expected tonight and into early tomorrow morning, we wanted to provide an update. All schools will be open tomorrow on a normal schedule.

We know back-to-back freezes aren't typical for Central Florida, and your children's safety and comfort are our top priority.

Our facilities teams have been checking heating systems across all campuses, and buildings will be warm and ready when students arrive. We'll also have hallways and classrooms open early so students can get inside and stay warm once they reach campus.

Our teams will continue monitoring conditions overnight. If anything changes, we'll notify you immediately through phone calls, texts, email, and our website and social media channels.

Thank you for your patience and flexibility as we navigate this unusual cold snap together. Bundle up tonight, and make sure the kids dressed in layers for tomorrow, especially for walkers and students walking to the bus stop tomorrow morning.

❄️Cold Weather Alert!❄️ With a freeze warning in effect overnight and into tomorrow morning and colder temperatures throughout this week's forecast, it's time to bundle up again. We kindly remind families to ensure students, especially those waiting at bus stops or traveling to and from school on foot, are dressed appropriately for the weather.

We encourage students to wear layers and bring a jacket or sweater to stay comfortable throughout the day, as temperatures may vary between outdoor conditions and classrooms.🧣🧤

Thank you for your continued support in helping keep our students safe, comfortable, and ready to learn.
