Metro Nashville Public Schools reopened Tuesday after last week's winter storm forced numerous school closings across the area.
On Monday, Metro officials urged drivers to continue to use caution as many secondary and side streets were still icy.
However, MNPS officials said bus drivers would use discretion on icy roads. If your road is still covered in ice, they said your school bus would likely not attempt to travel it.
See you all bright and early for a great day at school!

Authorities warned patches of ice and slush were more probable in shady areas and on hillsides. Anywhere sunlight was not able to reach was still be iced over.
However, warmer temperatures and rain overnight helped with any lingering road problems.
