Eastwood Local Schools Superintendent Brent Welker will make the call this afternoon whether classes will
be canceled Wednesday.

in an email this morning.
Depending on the expiration of a windchill warning, the district will try to be open at least part of the
day in Friday.
“It will still be cold going into the morning, but temps are expected to rise through the morning. We may
push things a little here,” Welker said. “The kids need to get back into a routine.”
Practices and events are expected to be held Friday night.
