The Superintendent of Schools may close the schools or dismiss students/staff early in the event of severe weather or hazardous road conditions. Every attempt will be made to ensure that younger students will not be left without proper parental supervision.
The school district uses the School Messenger system to directly notify families of school closings and other emergencies.
Parents are requested to avoid calling schools on days of poor weather; it is important to keep school phone lines open. School closings and delayed starting times will be announced over local radio stations. The following television/radio stations will carry information regarding emergency closings:
If no report is heard, it can be assumed the schools are opening on time.
