St. Joseph students will get an opportunity to celebrate a Kansas City Chiefs win in Super Bowl LVII.

The St. Joseph School District says in a news release says it will join schools in the Kansas City area and will close on Wednesday to allow its students, staff, and members of the community to participate in the Chiefs victory parade and rally.

Officials say several parents have called saying their students will not be in attendance on Wednesday. The district also worries about a lack of substitutes to fill in classrooms to take care of students.

Some after school activities may still be in session and students should contact their coaches or activity directors for more information. Time off will count against built in weather hours for the district.

St. Joseph Catholic Academies announced they're campuses would also be closed on Wednesday.
