Bulldog families,
Mark your calendars for the 4th Annual Trash Bash Community Cleanup on Saturday, April 11th. This event is completely FREE to join, and the Tarrant Regional Water District supplies registered volunteers with everything they need to help remove litter from all around the lake and reward everyone with an After-Party that includes FREE food, entertainment, activities, and raffle prizes. This is an excellent opportunity for your students to earn community service hours and learn more about how government operates at a local level. For more info about this event, please visit www.trwd.com/trashbash.

While the main roads into Wortham are much improved because of ice treatment and just more travel, the rural roads still have a significant amount of ice. Out of an abundance of caution, Wortham ISD will close on Wednesday, January 28th. We expect the conditions to improve tomorrow, and we look forward to getting our kids back in school on Thursday.

With the temps staying below freezing today, the road conditions remain dangerous for travel into tomorrow. Wortham ISD will err on the side of caution and safety and be closed again on Tuesday, January 27th. We will reassess on Tuesday afternoon to make any decisions regarding Wednesday.

The overnight frozen precipitation has created unsafe driving conditions on our roads, and with temperatures not expected to get above freezing today, the conditions will not improve. So Wortham ISD will cancel school for Monday, January 26th. We will reassess the conditions on Monday afternoon and send out an update regarding any decision for school on Tuesday.

Stay safe and warm!

The district will monitor the weather conditions and road conditions this weekend, and we will will provide an update on Sunday regarding any potential school closures/late starts. The current forecast is not favorable for travel this weekend, and emergency management suggests staying home and avoiding any travel if that is possible. Stay safe and warm, and we will provide updates as necessary.
