OilerNation-
After careful consideration of the current weather conditions and the impact on student safety, we will make tomorrow, January 8th an Elearning day for all students. While this does not set a precedent for closing school solely due to low temperatures, the combined factors of low temperatures, the dangers of walking and/or driving to school with compacted snow, and challenges with bussing create a situation where prioritizing safety is essential. Again, school for tomorrow, January 8th will be a remote learning day for all students. Thank you and have a great evening.
Mr. Miller, Superintendent
