A message from Lori Olson, Interim Superintendent:
Due to the many impacts of this recent snowstorm, we will be cancelling school for Monday, April 25, 2022. All buildings will be closed this day, and only our maintenance staff will be working during this emergency.
Currently, electricity is down in all our buildings with no estimate of when it will be restored. The City of Williston has also informed us that they will not begin clearing school routes until Monday morning at the earliest.
We will continue to monitor these situations and will let you know on Monday if school will be impacted again on Tuesday.
A message from Lori Olson, Interim Superintendent:
It looks like Mother Nature is not done with us yet! The most recent forecast is projecting 12+ inches of snow through the weekend, and with that in mind, we will be keeping a close eye on the road conditions throughout town. We are planning on Monday being a regular school day, but if that changes, we will be notifying parents and staff Sunday evening.
There will be a Special School Board Meeting on Monday, May 2, at 12:00 p.m.
