Friday School Schedule Changes

The safety of our students and staff is our top priority. Given the hazardous road conditions caused by the heavy snow and ice, adjustments have been made to Friday's school schedule.

School Closures and Delays

Several schools within the district will experience either closures or delayed openings. This decision was made following a comprehensive assessment of road conditions by the transportation department, in conjunction with local weather reports.

• Closed: Central Elementary School, North Middle School, West High School.
• Delayed Opening: South Elementary School (opening at 10:00 AM), East Middle School (opening at 10:30 AM).
• Contact: For further information, please contact the school district at 555-1212 or visit our website at www.schooldistrict.com.

The assessment process considered factors such as road conditions, ice accumulation, and predicted weather patterns to ensure the safest possible transportation for students and staff.

After-School Activities

Due to the continued risk of hazardous road conditions, particularly during the evening hours, all after-school activities scheduled for Friday are canceled.

• Canceled Activities: All sports practices, drama club rehearsals, and student council meetings are canceled.
• Contact: For specific questions regarding individual activity cancellations, please contact the activity organizers directly.

Traveling in icy conditions after dark presents a significantly increased safety risk, and this cancellation is intended to mitigate those risks.

Makeup Days/Remote Learning

We understand that the school closures and delays may disrupt the learning process. To address this, we are implementing the following plan:

• Makeup Day: Friday's missed instructional time will be made up on the last day of school, extending the school year by one day.
• Remote Learning Resources: Supplemental online learning resources will be available on the school district website for students who wish to continue their studies at home.

We are committed to ensuring educational continuity and will provide further updates as needed. We believe this approach balances mitigating the risk of travel with maintaining a high quality of education for all our students.

Trash and Recycling Pickup Adjustments

The significant snowfall and icy conditions have also affected trash and recycling pickup services provided by City Waste Management.

Service Disruptions

Several areas within the city will experience delays or cancellations in trash and recycling pickup.

• Delayed Pickup: Areas north of Main Street will experience a one-day delay in pickup. Pickup will now occur on Saturday.
• Canceled Pickup: Areas south of Elm Street will have Friday's pickup canceled. Rescheduled pickup will be announced via the City Waste Management website and local news channels.
• Contact: For specific information regarding your area, please contact City Waste Management at 555-9876 or visit their website at www.citywastemanagement.com

The delays are due to the unsafe driving conditions for garbage trucks on icy roads, and the safety of our drivers is paramount.

Proper Waste Disposal

While we work to restore full service, here are some tips for responsible waste management:

• Temporary Storage: Securely store trash and recycling in your garage or inside your home if possible.
• Prevent Overflow: Avoid overfilling your bins, as this can create hazards.
• Safety First: Do not place overflowing bins on icy sidewalks or streets.

Responsible waste disposal helps ensure the safety and cleanliness of our community during this challenging time.

Reporting Missed Pickups

If your trash or recycling has not been collected by the rescheduled date, please report it to City Waste Management:

• Phone: 555-9876
• Email: [email protected]
• Online Form: [Link to online form]

Your report should include your address and a description of the missed pickup. City Waste Management will address reported missed pickups as quickly and safely as possible.
