As temperatures begin to drop, it's important to stay informed about potential schedule changes! ❄️📅 If there's a two-hour delay, school will start two hours later than usual and will dismiss at the regular time. For schedule change procedures and the best ways to stay informed when winter weather hits, check our website at www.btcs.org/schedulechanges.
