Connally ISD Administrators have spent the morning driving the district's roadways and have confirmed that they are safe to travel on. All CISD campuses will run on normal operating hours. We encourage everyone to bundle up in warm clothing and take your time as you make your way to school this morning. Use extra caution when driving on bridges and overpasses or walking on sidewalks and pathways that may be slick. Maintain a safe distance from other vehicles when entering parking lots or student drop off lanes. We are ready to see all of our Cadets and provide them with a safe and warm learning environment!

Connally ISD has spent the day in consultation with the National Weather Service. The most recent information released indicates that any snowfall that we receive will be "dry snow", meaning that it is unlikely to accumulate or stick to any roadways. Based on this report, the district has made the decision to operate on a normal schedule tomorrow. All campuses will run on normal operating hours. We will continue to watch the forecast and monitor updates that we receive from the National Weather Service. Texas weather can be unpredictable, but Connally ISD remains committed to keeping our stakeholders up to date with any changes to our operating plan. We are eager to greet each of our students tomorrow. We encourage everyone to wear appropriate clothing for the cold weather! Connally ISD bus drivers will stop and wait for their riders so that students will not have to wait in the cold. We ask that bus riders be on the lookout for their bus! The district will communicate any additional updates regarding school delays, closures, or early dismissals through our social media accounts, Thrillshare messaging system, and announcements through the local news media.

All Connally ISD campuses will be closed on Monday, January 20, in recognition of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Students will report back to school on Tuesday, January 21. A full copy of this year's calendar can be found here: https://5il.co/2r8xx
