❄️ We hear you, JCS families! Going forward, we’ll make weather-related robocalls until 9PM, giving you more time to plan for the following day. If a decision isn’t made the night before, all notifications will go out by 6AM the following morning. A quick reminder: safety is our top priority! When snow is in the forecast, we closely monitor weather and road conditions with local and state agencies to ensure safe travel. We aim to make all decisions the night before, but if needed, our team checks conditions early in the morning to determine if a delay or closure is needed.
