Today is a special observance day in Wisconsin. September 11, 2001, is a day that holds profound significance in our nation's history. We want to take a moment to remember and honor the lives that were lost and the indomitable spirit that emerged in the face of adversity.
This day serves as a solemn occasion to pay tribute to the victims, survivors, and heroes such as law enforcement officers and firefighters who demonstrated unparalleled courage and unity during those challenging times.
It's an incredible day! Welcome to the 2023-24 School Year! #waukeshaproud
After reviewing the latest forecast from the National Weather Service, the SDW will be closed today, February 22. There is high confidence for two plus inches of sleet and ice later this morning into the afternoon that may cause travel conditions to deteriorate quickly.
Additionally, there will be no after-school activities, and we will continue to watch the weather forecast for Thursday.
February 15th is National School Resource Officer Appreciation Day!
