North of state highway 60 is particularly bad. Saltillo and Campbellsburg are completely ice covered. Other areas in the corporation have problem areas, especially bridges and culverts. Additionally, fog is developing in areas and a thin layer of ice is developing in those spots.
Synchronous instruction will begin at 10 am.
We will be attempting to return to school tomorrow, Friday 1/30/26, on a 2 hour delay. There is a small chance of snow with minor accumulation between 3-7 AM in the morning. That will be monitored.
Prepare for a return and pay attention for an announcement in the morning. If a change is made then it will be announced by 7 AM.
Bus drivers may not be able to make it to every bus stop, due to localized conditions or not being able to access the normal bus turnarounds. They have been instructed to contact you if that is the case and arrange an alternate pick up.
Contact the bus driver and the school if you are not sending your child to school. If you contact us, your child's absence will be excused and school work will be made available to them.
There were several hours spent driving roads this afternoon. Things are progressing quickly and improving drastically.
There are still problematic roads with drifts, only one passable lane, etc. When you factor in the windchill, temperatures are supposed to be sub -5 or less from 7-10 am in the morning.
We have our fingers crossed for a return to school on a delay for Thursday, That decision will be made tomorrow afternoon.
Snow accumulation and temperatures are going to make it difficult for our crew and state and county crews to clear the grounds and roads to make transportation to school safe .
Temperatures on Tuesday morning will remain well below zero with the windchill and we can not risk overexposure when routes could also see risks and delays due to road conditions.
Both days will be synchronous virtual days. Students need to be up and ready to attend instruction by 10 am.
The forecast and road conditions will continue to be monitored in hopes of a return to school as soon as safely possible.
WWSC will utilize a virtual day on Tuesday 1/20/26.
We are aware that this causes a disruption for families and we apologize. Staff were surveyed and it was apparent that we were going to have staffing issues due to individuals electing to take this day off. Additionally, older students were reporting that they may be missing that day.
This information led to our decision to make this day a virtual day.
The sun has done a lot to melt away the snow and ice on most roads. However, east and west roads that are shaded with hills still have hazardous spots.
The delay will allow for bus drivers, staff and students to see any approaching hazards and navigate accordingly.
We will have NO virtual day. We will make this day up on a date to be identified later.
Snow is already falling at a significant rate and roads are snow covered. The track of the storm is forecasted to continue on this path and more snow is on the way.
Students need to be ready by 10 am to start preparing for the synchronous virtual day.
Allow extra travel time and use caution when traveling to school. You may encounter slick spots, drive at a reduced speed and be mindful of elevated areas and bridges.
