Meanwhile, in other parts of the country, extreme cold is also forcing school closures. In Stevens Point, Wisconsin , temperatures are expected to drop as low as 35 degrees below zero with wind chills, making it dangerous to be outside for even a few minutes. The National Weather Service has issued warnings, and several districts in the area are adjusting schedules:
- Almond-Bancroft School District – Two-hour delay
- Mosinee School District – Closed
- Rosholt School District – Two-hour delay
- Tomorrow River Schools – Closed, transitioning to virtual learning
- Tri-County Area School District – Closed
Similarly, Chicago-area schools are dealing with bitter cold, leading to closures and e-learning transitions. Wind chills as low as 30 degrees below zero are expected, and schools like Lyons School District 103, Dolton West School District 148, and Joliet Public Schools District 86 are shifting to e-learning for the day.
For parents and students, it’s crucial to stay informed. Make sure to check school websites, local news, and social media for the latest updates. If your school is closed, be prepared for virtual learning if required. Above all, stay safe and dress warmly if you must go outside. This winter weather is no joke, and frostbite can happen quickly in these conditions. Stay tuned for more updates as the situation develops.
