Since several schools serve as shelters, all schools will close after the half-day on Wednesday.
After-school programs and extracurricular activities are canceled from Wednesday through Friday. The YMCA’s before and after-school programs will also follow this schedule. The activation of shelters is based on various factors, with the school district playing a key role in the Emergency Operations Center’s response.
