The St. Joseph School District is dismissing classes two hours early Thursday and Friday due to the heat.

The National Weather Service predicts highs for Thursday and Friday in the low 90s.

The district said administrators have been through the partially air conditioned buildings the last few days taking temperatures and talking with staff members.

“The buildings continue to contain the heat and not cool overnight,” said Joey Austin, SJSD Dir. of Communications. “We certainly appreciate the teachers, staff and students for working through the heat the last few days.”
