Dr. Tom Edington, superintendent of Wawasee Community School Corp., posted the following statement on The Wawascene, the Web blog for the school corporation:

“Winter has been especially harsh this year causing many delays and cancellations for Wawasee Community Schools. As it stands now, the last student day is Tuesday, June 3.

“If the prolonged winter forces more closings, we will add the makeup days to the end of the year. At this time, Wawasee Community Schools has no plans to extend the current school day, nor will we use scheduled vacations or holidays as makeup days (spring break, Good Friday and Memorial Day). Thank you for your cooperation in what has been a tough couple of months for us all. Hopefully, we are finished with weather cancellations for the rest of this year!”

The statement also appears on the school corporation website, wawaseeschools.org, as a scrolling message across the top of the home page.
