Updated 11:30pm
The PTA president got a call from Mrs. Yost. It still has not been decided if Foothills will be closed tomorrow due to the smoke in the air. Please check the 5:00 am news for any closure announcements.
If school is closed PTA will try to get the word out through the room parents.
The school district website will have closure information for all local schools, but as of right now is crashed due to high volume. www.jordandistrict.org
Will update this site as new information comes in.
