Silex R-1 School District will be in session tomorrow, Wednesday, January 17, 2024. We will be running our bus routes as normal as possible. There are a few spots that I will ask the bus drivers to take an alternate route. Temperatures in the morning are supposed to be very cold. Please have your students wear coats, hats, and gloves, and cover as much of their body as possible while waiting for the bus.
If you have a student driver, please have them use the utmost caution while driving. Several of our roads are snow compacted in places and for inexperienced drivers this could be hazardous. We want our students to arrive safely at school but temperatures are supposed to rise throughout the day which should improve road conditions for the return home.
Excited to see everyone tomorrow!
Mr. Nick Heggemann
Silex Superintendent
