PINELANDS REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT UPDATE
Dear Wildcat Families and Staff,
Please be advised that all schools will operate on a normal schedule tomorrow, Wednesday, February 25.
As we transition back to our normal routine, we encourage everyone to exercise extra caution. Some roads and sidewalks may still be icy or otherwise hazardous. Please allow additional time for your morning commute.
Winter Safety Reminders:
BUS STOP: If snow mounds are blocking your usual waiting area, please stand in a cleared space such as a nearby driveway or a shoveled path.
BOARDING: For your safety, remain well back from the curb and wait until the bus has come to a complete stop before approaching.
COMMUTE: Be alert for "black ice" on roads and walkways. These areas may look clear, but can remain extremely slick.
The safety of our students and staff remains our top priority. We look forward to welcoming everyone back in the classroom tomorrow!
STAY SAFE, WILDCATS!
