BridgePrep Academy of Collier and Collier County Public Schools (CCPS) continue to monitor Hurricane Ian very closely as it approaches the Florida peninsula. The current forecast projects storm effects to continue into Thursday morning with rain and storm surge potentially resulting in significant flooding and winds that would exceed safe levels for buses to be on the road (sustained winds of 35mph or more). According to the National Hurricane Center, shifts in the forecasted storm track could still occur as the storm nears our coast.
Therefore, out of an abundance of caution for student and staff safety, BridgePrep Academy of Collier will continue to be CLOSED tomorrow (September 28) and THURSDAY (September 29).
A decision about school operations on Friday will be announced no later than 4pm on Thursday (September 29).
