Principal Kevin Pobst just announced over the public address system  that classes will end at noon today. Pobst said lunch will still be served for fourth period, and the beginning of fifth.  Below is the text of the 10:15 a.m. announcement posted on the District 203 web page.

Due to restricted and blocked travel routes resulting from weather conditions, District 203 schools will engage our early dismissal process. High School students will begin dismissing at Noon. Junior High Schools will dismiss at 1:00, followed by Elementary schools at 2:30 pm. Buses will drop students as close to their stop as possible.

• Afternoon pre-school at Ann Reid Early Childhood Center and PM Kindergarten at all elementary school will be cancelled.
• After school clubs, activities and athletics and programs for ALL GRADE LEVELS have been cancelled.
• YMCA Safe ‘n Sound program IS NOT CANCELLED.
• District Dual language Information Program scheduled for tonight is cancelled.

The school district is working in cooperation with the City of Naperville Public Works who issued a request late this morning, after our pick-up routes had already begun, that cars stay off the streets as much as possible. Early dismissal will help ease travel in the city before this afternoon.
