☀️ DCSS to Reopen Tuesday Following Winter Weather Closure
The Douglas County School System and the Douglas County Emergency Management Agency have been closely monitoring weather and road conditions over the past several days. The winter weather event that caused Monday's closure has moved out of our area, and safer road conditions have returned.
As a result, all schools and offices will resume normal operations on Tuesday, January 27, 2026.
All regular schedules, including before- and after-school activities, will operate as normal. Our administrators and the district operations department will continue to monitor conditions at all schools and will alert us immediately if conditions change.
We sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding as we prioritized the safety of our students and staff. We look forward to welcoming everyone back tomorrow.
☀️ Asunto: El DCSS abrirá el martes después del cierre del Clima Invernal
El Sistema Escolar del Condado de Douglas y la Agencia de Manejo de Emergencias del Condado de Douglas han estado monitoreando de cerca las condiciones climáticas y las carreteras durante los últimos días. El evento de clima invernal que causó el cierre del lunes se ha desplazado fuera de nuestra zona, y las condiciones de seguridad vial han regresado.
Como resultado, todas las escuelas y oficinas reanudarán sus operaciones normales el martes 27 de enero del 2026.
Todos los horarios regulares, incluyendo las actividades de antes y después de la escuela, funcionarán normalmente. Nuestros administradores y el departamento de operaciones del distrito continuarán monitoreando las condiciones en todas las escuelas y nos alertarán inmediatamente si las condiciones cambian.
Agradecemos sinceramente su paciencia y comprensión mientras priorizamos la seguridad de nuestros estudiantes y personal. Esperamos darles la bienvenida mañana.

Today we’re celebrating a student who showed that kindness doesn’t have to be big to make a big impact. When another student in the hallway dropped their things, Kaiden stopped right away to help pick them up—even though he didn’t even know the student.
That simple act shows what being a great Wolf Cub is all about: helping others and showing kindness whenever we can. 🐺✨
Way to go for making our school a kinder place! Kaiden was nominated by Mrs. Johnson!👏

Students explored where pollution comes from, how it impacts our environment, and what we can do to help. During this hands-on lesson, they “polluted” a model pond using materials like paper scraps, plastic, styrofoam, coffee grounds (to represent runoff), and cocoa powder (to represent waste like sewage).
Before jumping in, students made predictions about which tools would work best to clean the water and whether it could be fully restored. As they worked to clean the pond, they quickly discovered just how challenging it is to remove pollution—especially certain types that require specialized tools.
This powerful activity helped students see firsthand why it’s so important to prevent pollution in the first place. Great thinking and teamwork, Mrs. Ochoa's class! 👏🌱
