On a normal school day, it will be announced no later than 5:45 AM if we are delaying and/or closing. Following a delay, it will be announced no later than 7:45 AM if we are closing. Our schools are equipped with a phone messaging device. In the event of an early dismissal, we will send out a call to the phone number or text message you have designated. Please also update the school with an accurate email account. If you want accurate information please contact the school or listen to our officially designated points of contact. Please be aware that the decision to delay or close school is very dependent upon weather conditions. Changing weather conditions that might put your child(ren)’s safety at issue may result in a later notification of a delay or a delay being changed to a closing. Please also realize that conditions at your home location may be significantly different than those in another part of the district. The goal is to keep all children in the district safe.
