Garfield Early Childhood Center is canceling the afternoon session on Friday, January 9th, due to the weather. The safety of our students and staff always comes first, and with the snow and current road conditions, we made the decision to keep those students home.
After consulting with the National Weather Service, we believe the students are in the safest place being in school, but if parents would like to pick up your child you are welcome to do so.
