WEATHER CLOSURE: Based on the current conditions, it’s not likely that Tuesday’s historic snowfall will melt away before temperatures drop again tonight, which could lead to unsafe road conditions for our buses Thursday morning. Out of an abundance of caution, the DCSS will close schools Thursday with plans to reopen Friday.
WEATHER INFO: The district is monitoring an approaching cold front that has the potential to bring snow and ice to our area next week. We will provide updates on our official channels - website, mobile app, SMS and Rooms -- if there are any changes to school operations.
📢 **Attention Parents and Guardians!**
Report cards will be sent home on Thursday, January 9th! 📄✨ Please check your child’s folder or backpack and be on the lookout for important information about their progress. Let’s work together to ensure a strong second half of the school year! 💙💛
Happy New Year, MLK families! We hope you enjoyed the holidays and spent quality time with loved ones. Students return from Christmas Break on Monday, January 6, 2025.
