Update Jan. 22 @ 8:55 a.m. – Per WUSD:
Confirming we will begin school following the 2 hour delay:
9:50 Elementary
9:55 MS
9:50 HS (see alt schedule for finals sent out by Mr. Mansky)
SPECIAL NOTICE – 5:20 am, January 22
WUSD Staff and Families: In consultation with our bus company, we are very concerned about earlier-than-expected icing on the roads that will make it dangerous for our buses and the commute to school. (County A is currently closed by the Duck Inn due to icing.) We will be initiating a 2-hour delay and reassessing if school can start safely. AM 4K will be canceled.
Due to slippery road conditions, the Whitewater Unified School District will have a two hour delay on Monday, January 22nd. As such, the high school exam schedule has been modified and can be found HERE. In the event that road conditions do not improve and school is canceled, we will bump the high school exam schedule back by one day. Day 1 of exams would start on Tuesday, January 23rd, Day 2 would be Wednesday, January 24th, and Day 3 would be found Thursday, January 25th.
According to the National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan Weather Forecast Office, the Whitewater area is projected to have nearly a 90% chance of a light layer of glaze ice between Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning.
From late Sunday night to noon Monday, periods of light snow or sleet are likely. Around noon on Monday, a transition to drizzle/freezing drizzle is likely. It’s possible that the resulting ice may impact travel Monday evening and Tuesday morning.
