No fancy graphics this time. I am sorry to say that we need to close school again today, January 10. There is just too much new snow on top of what we already had. Please be safe and warm and we will see everyone on Monday. NO SCHOOL - Plan B @theSMSD

Our general rule is that we do not post when schools are going to be OPEN. Sometimes rules are meant to be broken. We deeply appreciate the hard work of our O&M teams to get our buildings ready, and we are as excited to see your children tomorrow as you are to send them to us! ☺️
