The email noted that all classes are canceled for the day, though before- and after-school athletics and activities will continue as scheduled. Blue Door Academy child care also will be available, but through a consolidated site at McKinley Elementary School.

The Brewers capped their historic 103-win regular season with a steam-rolling performance at each level of the playoffs, first defeating the San Diego Padres, 3-1, and then sweeping the Los Angeles Dodgers in four games to win the National League pennant.
