Good afternoon, Scales Mound Families.
The forecast I have been watching for the past couple of days continues to call for extreme temperatures beginning later this evening, and continuing through much of the morning tomorrow. In addition, the power outage that occurred earlier this morning took out the internet service throughout the building, and the internal problem will not be resolved before tomorrow.
Keeping in mind everyone’s safety, as well as the lack of internet service, I feel it is best to have an e-Learning Day tomorrow, Tuesday, February 18th.
Stay safe.
All my best,
Dr. Marybeth Whitney-DeLaMar
