As we continue to monitor the forecast, we have decided that tomorrow, Wednesday, February 19, 2025, will be a regular school day. We will continue to monitor the weather for Thursday and make a decision after we have the latest forecast from the National Weather Service. Crete Public Schools recognizes the right and responsibility of parents in the matter of school attendance. This leaves the discretion and judgment of parents to decide whether or not their student(s) attend school during inclement weather. Be well, and Go Cards!
