Plan E day for Thursday, January 23rd

Dear Parents, 
          The forecast for tomorrow, Thursday, January 23, 2014, is more concerning than this morning, as continued sub-zero temperatures may be met with additional snowfall. As a result, Thursday, January 23 will be another E-day.  Because of the reality of missed school days, planning and effectiveness have been foiled by continuous winter surprises. We will be compensating for these weather related Plan E days by changing the Edays set on the DRSS calendar for February 18 and April 21 to regular, in school, face-to-face days of classes.  The calendar has been updated to reflect these changes. 
         Stay warm, and we hope to be back in a routine at DRSS soon.
