Gering Families,
Once again, the forecast shows temperatures dropping dangerously low overnight and into the morning. For this reason, Gering Public Schools will have a 10am late start Tuesday, January 16th (NO morning half-day preschool session). We will monitor conditions and alert families (in the morning) IF we determine school will not be in session. No rural bus routes will run Tuesday. Below we have outlined several anticipated FAQs:
