Updated School Closings and for 1-19: Northfield, Cannon Falls, Faribault, Kenyon Wanamingo, Owatonna, Randolph, Tri-City United Public Schools are all closed today

Some 4-5″ inches of snow fell overnight over South-Central Minnesota last night, and more is expected into the late morning hours. The snow has caused many area schools to either delay the start of the school day or cancel school altogether.

Northfield Public Schools are closed, and the students will have an eLearning Day. Northfield Superintendent of Public Schools Dr. Matt Hillmann said snow is already drifting in the rural areas of the district, and with more on the way, it is not safe to transport students at this time.

Cannon Falls Public Schools will be closed. The District has declared an eLearning Day

Faribault Public Schools has announced that today will be an eLearning Day, and the school buildings will be closed. The district requests that students check their SeeSaw or Schoology account for messages and assignments from their teacher.

Kenyon Wanamingo Public Schools are closed today

Owatonna Public Schools are closed. Students will have a distance learning day. Students should follow their E-Learning schedules

Randolph Public Schools are Closed, and the district has declared an E-Flex day. Randolph childcare is closed as well.

Tri City United Public Schools are closed today

This is a developing situation. With as much as 6″ of snow predicted overnight, we could see more delays or closings around the area.
