Schools in the St. John’s Metro region will have a delayed opening this morning, Wednesday, January 28, by one (1) hour, to allow for the appropriate clean up from the latest weather system.

Due to the combination of accumulating snow and reduced visibility schools will dismiss 2 hours earlier than normal today. Buses will arrive at 12:10 for our students.

The exam scheduled for today will be moved to Periods 1 and 2 on Monday, Feb. 2.

Due to the amount of snow that has fallen, we are closed for the day.

Have a safe and fun snow day!

Monday is the start of our Door Decorating Contest which is a class competition. Doors will be judged on Wednesday, Dec. 17 after school – one winner per grade level. Prizes will be distributed on Thursday, Dec. 18. Students are responsible for getting the materials on their own. Teachers may help if they wish. Do not ask the art teacher or the office for art supplies.
