Dear Warrior Family, Due to today’s forecasted winter storm, all after-school activities including athletic practices and competitions, are canceled. We will follow the typical early release Wednesday schedule. Because there will be no after-school activities, there will be no activity buses today (Feb. 12). Students are expected to go home at dismissal time, which is 1:36 p.m at Freshman Campus and 1:46 p.m. at Upper Campus. Have a safe evening.
