Dec 17 2025 School Closure All SD 42 Schools

December 17, 2025

All schools will be closed today, December 17, 2025. The majority of our school buildings are currently without power, which has left our sites without heat or internal lighting. At many locations, the security shutters cannot be raised without power, further limiting visibility and access to natural light within the classrooms.  Given the intensity of the wind and the scale of the outages, we do not expect power to be restored quickly. Additionally, significant debris on the roads and continuing winds make the commute to and from school unsafe.

We recognize that these short-notice closures are a significant disruption for our families and apologize for the inconvenience. Thank you for your understanding as we navigate these weather conditions.
