We appreciate your understanding of the difficulties in making this decision, and your support in helping your child get to school safely on winter days. For every family that is happy school is in session on days when the weather is bad, there is another family that feels schools should be closed.  The decision to open or close schools during inclement weather brings out some of the strongest community reactions — no matter which way we go.
