inclement weather makes it necessary to cancel school, announcements are made
over the following radio and television stations: WOOD AM 1300, and TV Channels

closed or on a delay and will be listed separately. A delay will result in no before-school care, no morning

Wednesday or Friday, class for afternoon kindergarten enrichment students will
begin at 12 noon that day.
