In the event of a school closing, early
dismissal, or delayed opening, parents will be notified through the following
means if possible:
news media
e-mail
automated calls
the District website
social media
Because no system is foolproof, it's best to monitor more than one of these communication channels. Remember: If it didn't come from the District, it's not official.
Parents and staff will be notified of a closing or delayed opening the
night before if possible, and by 5 a.m. at the latest. Power
or internet outages could affect one or more of these systems, so it is best to
monitor more than one.
A delayed opening may be used on
days when weather or road conditions make it inadvisable to start school at the
usual time, but it is possible to open in conditions improve. Delayed opening
means a two-hour delay in school starting times and morning bus runs.
Parents should become familiar with the delayed-opening protocol and
develop a family plan so that
children will be safe at home and en route to school on delayed-opening days.
Your family’s plan will vary depending on your family circumstances and the
maturity of your children. Download the delayed opening guide below.
