Student safety is always the top priority when making school closure or delay decisions. Closures or delayed starts are determined in the early morning after reviewing road conditions, weather reports and forecasts across the entire district, as conditions can vary by area.
If a closure or two-hour delayed start is needed, families will be notified as early as possible by phone call, text and email. Updates are also shared on school websites and district social media channels.
Families may always choose to keep their student home if travel feels unsafe, and schools will support missed learning. When schools are open, they remain a safe, warm environment for students.
Bus routes may be delayed during inclement weather, and students should dress appropriately for current conditions.
