I didn’t know we’re off today until I cycled to the locked gate of our school. I made sure of the fact before leaving for home by inquiring of our principal. I only learnt that the Central School in our town has closed since yesterday afternoon for the bad conditions of the snow-covered roads. This morning the icy roads became dangerous to all the vehicle drivers. Yesterday I retreated from school early and this morning I found no information about the closure of school in the communication space of the staff on the phone. Next time under such circumstances I must phone our principal first before setting out.
