Due to current impact of the winter storm, all Spencer County Schools, Tiger Cub Village, and our Central Office will be closed tomorrow, January 6, 2025.
As a reminder, tomorrow was already designated as a District Professional Development Day for staff, so no classes were scheduled for students.
We will continue to monitor the stormโs impact, including potential power outages, and will make a decision regarding school for Tuesday, January 7, 2025, as soon as possible.
๐๐ข๐ง๐ญ๐๐ซ ๐๐๐๐ญ๐ก๐๐ซ ๐๐ฉ๐๐๐ญ๐:
District administrators are closely monitoring the potential for winter weather Sunday through Monday. As always, the safety of our students and staff is our top priority when making decisions regarding school closures.
Below are the possible options we may consider in the event of winter weather:
โข ๐๐ซ๐๐๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐๐ฅ ๐๐ง๐จ๐ฐ ๐๐๐ฒ: School is closed, and no instruction takes place.
โข ๐๐จ๐ง-๐๐ซ๐๐๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐๐ฅ ๐๐ง๐ฌ๐ญ๐ซ๐ฎ๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง (๐๐๐) ๐๐๐ฒ: Students participate in learning remotely from home.
โข ๐๐๐ฅ๐๐ฒ๐๐ ๐๐ญ๐๐ซ๐ญ: School start times are adjusted to allow roads to improve.

Now is an excellent time to review our NTI plan and ensure students have the resources they need to participate successfully in remote learning. Families are also encouraged to have an alternative plan in place for childcare in the event school is closed.
We will continue to monitor the forecast and will communicate updates as soon as possible through our usual channels.
