Good Afternoon,
This is St. Lucie Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Jon Prince with an important announcement regarding Hurricane Milton.
St. Lucie Public Schools will be closed on Tuesday, October 8th through Thursday, October 10th due to Hurricane Milton. Although our area doesn’t expect any major impact until later Wednesday, it is important to prepare our schools to potentially shelter our community through a dangerous storm.
Hurricane Shelters at Fort Pierce Westwood Academy and Treasure Coast High Schools will open on Tuesday at 2:00pm.
All after-school activities and childcare programs will remain open this afternoon and will be closed beginning tomorrow through Thursday.
These decisions were made based on the latest advisory from the National Hurricane Center and in coordination with the Emergency Operations Center.
We anticipate resuming normal operations on Friday, October 11th. Please check the SLPS website and social media for further updates.
