Greetings, This is East Grand Forks School Superintendent Kevin Grover. Due to the current snowfall, wind, and road conditions school will be closed and students/staff will participate in an E-Learning Day. Any student or family that has questions on what their child should be working on can email teachers. Any staff that is not sure on what to do should contact their supervisor. This means no preschool, afterwave, or school activities will happen today. Thank you and stay safe.

Winter Hazard Awareness Week -November 18th – 22nd
The Polk County Sheriff’s Office – Emergency Management Division is participating in the state-wide Winter Hazard Awareness Week campaign, which will take place November 18th – 22nd , 2024. Winter Hazard Awareness Week is promoted by the Minnesota Department of Public Safety’s Division of Homeland Security Emergency Management. This week allows Minnesotan’s an opportunity to familiarize themselves with the hazards we face each winter season. These hazards include dangers from winter weather, dangers from heating sources, and ventilation issues, just to name a few. Today's focus is Winter Storms.
Minnesota experiences a vast variety of inclement weather conditions during the winter months. In Polk County we are especially prone to experiencing brutal cold, heavy snowfall, and extreme winds. A number of different watches, warnings, and advisories are issued during the winter season. Winter Weather Advisories are issued when winter weather will cause travel difficulties. Winter Storm Warnings are issued for heavy snowfall, or the combination of dangerous blowing and drifting snow. A combination of blowing or falling snow, cold temperatures, and windy conditions can prompt a blizzard warning. Polk County is covered by the National Weather Service’s Grand Forks Office. You can get additional weather information by visiting their website at: www.weather.gov/fgf .
