Get out the boots, snow pants, shovels, and possibly tire chains (in the mountains). Snow is on the way. The Front Range is under a Winter Storm Warning. The National Weather Service predicts up to 11 inches of snow over the next 24 hours in some areas along the Front Range.
The Poudre School District sent an email to parents last evening canceling after-school activities on February 1.

Dear PSD community,
All after-school extracurricular activities, programs, events and athletics are canceled for tomorrow, Feb. 1, 2022, due to predicted inclement weather conditions.
Schools will be released on normal bell schedules.
Afternoon bus routes will run as usual but may be delayed due to anticipated adverse road conditions. The Here Comes the Bus app provides the real-time location of each bus and can be accessed through desktop or mobile devices. It is available in the Apple iTunes Store or Google Play. To create an account, use the PSD school code 75840.
AlphaBEST after-school care will remain open, but parents are asked to pick their students up as soon as possible.
Thank you for your continued partnership.
Sincerely,
Poudre School District
