WEATHER/EMERGENCY SCHOOL CLOSINGS:
When emergency situations occur, including weather conditions, the decision to close schools, start later or dismiss early will be made by the Superintendent or his/her designee. To receive notifications make sure your contact information is current with transportation and building secretary.
Safety for students and staff is our first priority. When weather conditions are questionable, the district's transportation director will do considerable checking of road conditions. Since the school district is very large, it is impossible to determine the conditions in every sector on any given day.
Even if school is in session, parents are asked to assess their particular situation and determine whether or not it is safe for their child(ren) to attend school on a particular day. Please plan with your child what you will do in a school closing emergency.
In the event that school must be delayed or closed a SchoolMessenger phone call, text message or email will be made to families and staff from the District Office. An announcement will also be made on the following:
