Weather-Related Announcements

We’re sharing our weather-related school procedures for families to keep handy throughout the season. Below, you’ll find how we share announcements and what to expect if weather affects the school day.

Safety is our priority when making these decisions. The district reviews National Weather Service information, consults with local highway departments, and works with our transportation team and neighboring school districts.

How we share announcements

Notifications about school closings, delays, and early dismissals are:

  • Sent through ParentSquare, the district’s communications platform, providing voice and text updates to the phone numbers listed for students’ primary contacts, and through email to provided addresses.
  • A pop-up alert on the district website (district website) and on our mobile app.
  • Through the district’s Facebook and Instagram pages.
  • Shared with local news outlets.

School closings

A school closing means schools are closed for the day. There will be no extracurricular activities, including meetings, practices, and contests.

One- or two-hour delays

Your child’s school day begins one or two hours later than usual. Dismissal times stay the same.

Early dismissals

An early dismissal means students are sent home before the regular dismissal time because of potentially dangerous weather conditions. All extracurricular activities will be canceled.

Please make sure your family has a plan for days when your child comes home early.

We’ll keep families informed of any updates to these procedures. Thank you for your cooperation throughout the winter months.
