Good afternoon Comet families! I’m reaching out to you today because of the heat advisory for tomorrow beginning at 11:00 am. The forecast predicts the heat index to reach 105 and that doesn’t include a classroom full of bodies. Consequently, tomorrow Thursday, August 24th will be a half day.
I know half days can be challenge for some families so I do apologize for any inconvenience. However, those temperatures exceed what I’m comfortable with. The football game that is scheduled for tomorrow will be determined by the guidelines set up by MHSAA for heat. Have a good rest of your day and go Comets!
Sincerely,
Erik Weatherwax
Superintendent, Jonesville Community Schools
