District Communication
Blair Oaks R-II School District ~ Tuesday, January 26
Inclement Weather
There is a slight possibility of a late start tomorrow (Wednesday, January 27) at Blair Oaks. Conditions overnight and early tomorrow may present an opportunity to utilize a 2-hour late start. No decision has been made at this time.
The decision will be made at approximately 5:45 AM on Wednesday. There are three options: normal day, 2-hour late start, or no school. The timing of the end of the precipitation may make a 2-hour late start a viable option. I wanted to give everyone as much notice as possible.
If a 2-hour late start is decided, all school functions will begin exactly 2 hours later than normal. Buses will begin their routes exactly 2 hours later than normal. Bus pick ups will be exactly 2 hours (give or take a few minutes) later than normal. Parents may drop students off at school at 9:30 AM (2 hours later than the normal 7:30 AM). No breakfast will be served. Lunch will be served as normal. School will be dismissed at its normal time.
If school is delayed or cancelled, we will use the normal means of communication to notify parents and students.
