Due to the predicted ice and freezing rain in the early morning hours continuing through the rest of the day Elm Creek Schools will be closed Thursday, December 8th. Sports and activities are also cancelled.
The FKC JH Wrestling Tournament for tomorrow is cancelled due to weather forecast. It does not look good for a reschedule date due to scheduling conflicts for all schools. I will let you know if things change.
Reminder since we are expecting snow/ice in the forecast
Dear Families, This is just a quick reminder of our process when deciding to call a snow day and cancel school. I start with information from the National Weather Service, Weather Channel, and any other quality source of information. I also drive the roads to see for myself what the moisture, cold, and accumulation are doing to our country routes. My first goal is to always keep our students, staff and parents safe. My second goal is to communicate with you as early as possible. We will send out a message if there is a cancellation or late start using our Elm Creek App (sends a Text & Phone Call), Social Media, and the local media outlets. My hope is to try and announce a snow day the night before so families have time to make arrangements and prepare. I also try very hard to avoid late starts as I know this can create as many issues as simply canceling school. Sincerely, Dr. Schroder
