2-hour delay, December 5th, 2025

Pinewoods will operate on a 2-hour delay for tomorrow, December 5th, with our Early Bird program canceled. We’ll be ready to receive our Primary and Elementary children at 10:15 and our YCC children at 10:30.  

 

We do encourage everyone to plan for a little additional time they feel they may need for safe travel and to adjust to slower-than-usual traffic.  As always we trust and respect your judgment when it comes to the safety of your family. If you feel that road or weather conditions in your area are not safe for travel, please make the decision that best suits your circumstances. 

 

Finally, if the weather forecast changes for the worse or road conditions are worse than expected and require us to close we’ll update you as soon as possible via our parent alert system.   

 

Thank you for your continued partnership and care and we look forward to seeing you tomorrow.
