Royal Oak Schools Closed Tomorrow

Thursday marked the area’s tenth day high temperatures below 20 degrees. With wind expected tomorrow, temperatures may fall as low as -20 degrees in some parts of the region, leading Royal Oak Schools to cancel all classes tomorrow.

According to the schools’ Twitter account, “Tomorrow, January 5, 2018, all schools in the Royal Oak Schools district are closed due to unusually low temperatures. This includes all school events. All Adult Education courses at Churchill are also cancelled.” For more information, visit Royal Oak Schools online or on Twitter, or call (248) 435-8400.

After ten days of arctic blast temperatures, schools across Metro Detroit and beyond are already announcing closures for tomorrow. Temperatures have hovered around zero for nearly two weeks, causing two tragic deaths as two elderly women with demential wandered into the snow and succumbed to exposure in the cold in Roseville and Shelby Township.
