Inclement Weather School Closing

With cold weather coming, we inevitably know that there may be a Snow Day or two in our future. How will you know if school is closed for a Snow Day? Check these three places:

1. St. Paul Lutheran School will be closed when Bay City Public School closes, watch for it on WNEM's School Closings. 
2. The office will also send out a FastDirect email.
3. School Closings will be posted on our St. Paul Lutheran School Facebook Page.
