Due to the increased heat warnings this week, Ladd School will dismiss at 11:20 on Monday, August 26th, and Tuesday, August 27th.
This is a change from our previous messages on early release days. We are making this decision after worsening forecasts including an Extreme Heat Watch for Tuesday. We appreciate your flexibility and understanding. Our main concern is the safety of our staff and students.
Ladd School will be providing sack lunches for students at dismissal. If you would like your child to bring home a lunch, please have them select a hot lunch for the day upon arrival. Please be understanding that the lunch menu may change slightly to make this accommodation.
Buses will be available as usual to transport bus students home. Extra waters will be provided on the buses to help students stay hydrated and cool. Please remember that buses do not have air conditioning. They will be quite warm. If you would like to transport your child home instead of utilizing the bus to avoid the heat, please call the office and let us know to change your child's dismissal procedures. You can also email cmthrasher@laddccsd94.com
There will be no extra-curricular practices or events on heat release days. There will also be no aftercare provided.
Please contact the office if you have any questions or concerns. Stay safe and stay cool!
