Dear Pennoyer Community
I hope you know that the safety of students and staff is always our highest priority. We do not typically close school based on weather predictions alone. We have seen the forecast change frequently in the past and value the time that our students are in school. I have been monitoring the forecast throughout the day, as have other superintendents.
Tonight we made the decision to wait until the 4:00 a.m. news to evaluate the situation, and to monitor the most current radar weather available. The latest forecast has the most significant snow a little more south than originally predicted. As we all know with weather, anything can happen. It is our intent to make a decision by 5:30 a.m. at the latest. If the radar shows heavy snow fall throughout the afternoon, which could cause hazardous conditions for staff and students, we will appropriately make the decision to close.
I recognize that to close school at a later time might cause an inconvenience to staff and our families. However, we value emergency days and want to make sure that they are used for true emergencies.
Sincerely,
Sincerely,
Mike
