Delayed Opening Tomorrow

10/30/2017

I’m sure that everyone has heard at this point, but we will be having a 2-hour delay tomorrow morning at HUES. Because of this, our field trip to America’s Stonehenge will be postponed until a later date. Tomorrow we will be following our delayed opening schedule, a copy of which I will paste below. As soon as we have a new date for our field trip, I will let you all know!

Thanks so much and stay safe out there!

Remember, snacks are being eaten on the buses and need to be peanut-safe, but lunches will be eaten at picnic tables at the destination so they do not need to be peanut-safe.
