Week #20- January 13, 2025
Conditions look promising for a return to classes this week following a week of snow and ice. The MES custodial staff worked diligently last week to prepare parking lots and sidewalks for a safe return. Walkways are mostly clear, but I am encouraging an extra measure of caution and patience as we return this week. Depending on arrival times, there may be some lingering ice patches here and there, particularly in parking areas.
I look forward to seeing everyone and resuming learning this week.
Have a great week!
