The school says they may also consider remaining virtual for Thursday and Friday, but say’s they’ll be making those decisions later during the week.
Though rain was initially expected to start earlier on Tuesday, local meteorologists are predicting heavy rain tonight that could develop into a wintry mix Wednesday morning and then snow over the next 48 hours.
The full statement is below:
As we know in Oklahoma, the weather can change in a matter of days, or even hours! The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning for Northeastern Oklahoma, including Sapulpa and Creek County.
With the winter weather predicted to start overnight and continue into Wednesday morning, Sapulpa Public Schools will transition to district-wide Distance Learning for all students on Wednesday, February 2nd.
The reason for this decision is that traveling conditions are expected to deteriorate throughout the day Wednesday. We have not made a decision yet for Thursday and Friday. We will notify you as soon as possible if weather conditions warrant in-person learning, distance learning or snow days.
