β›ˆοΈ Weather & Facility Watch

  • Grand Rapids, MI: Several schools including City High Middle and Southwest Elementary were closed recently due to storm-related water damage. Check local feeds for ongoing cleanup delays.

πŸ’‘ Parent Logistics Tip: The “Camp Gap”

If your district has a surprise Staff Development day this Friday, call your local YMCA or community center. Many offer “School’s Out” one-day camps that specifically cater to these single-day district closures.
