IF THERE IS A 2 HOUR DELAY - Grades 1-5 will start school at 11:00. No breakfast will be served and lunch will be cheese pizza. Morning kindergartners will attend school from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., and afternoon kindergartners will attend from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. That means buses will pick up morning kindergartners at their homes about two hours later than the regular time; afternoon kindergartners will be picked up approximately one hour later than usual.
