Dear Southern Door Community,
It always seems that despite the various Groundhog predictions, Mother Nature always has the last word! The decision to close school, delay two hours, or dismiss early is NEVER made lightly. The safety of our students and our staff is always our first and foremost priority! As you well know, Door County schools are often affected by lake effect weather so even the meteorologists can't always predict what is in store for us. Our administrative team consults with the highway department, weather bureaus, and other school districts. Transportation weighs in more heavily in our district than it does in more urban areas where children walk to school.
Parents have the ultimate decision of whether they feel it is safe weather-wise for their children to come to school. If school is in session and parents are personally concerned about sending their children to school because of weather conditions, they should notify the school that their children will be absent. These decisions will be honored by staff and are then considered an excused absence.
With the conclusion of the first semester of school comes the opportunity for us to recognize those secondary students who have distinguished themselves academically. Click on this link to access the Middle School Honor Roll and on this link for the High School Honor Roll. Please join me in congratulating these students. Many of them are also engaged in student activities, work experiences, and community volunteerism.
Finally, good luck to our individual students and their teams as they enter regional, sectional, and state competitions! GO EAGLES!!
Yours in Education,
Patti
Patricia Vickman, Superintendent
