Power has since been restored to Immanuel Lutheran, but classes remain canceled. All athletic practices have been canceled due to the short day and the weather. However, Back-to-School Night is still scheduled for grades 5-8 at 7 p.m. in the Worship Center. Tomorrow is grades K-4.
In Chippewa Valley Schools, Dakota High School, Seneca and Iroquois middle schools, and Mohawk Elementary School lost power and are currently operating on emergency generators. There are no plans to end school early at this time.

DTE needs to get real. This is the fourth time in 10 days I have lost power. Not acceptable.
