School Closure Information

The winter months bring with them the possibility of school closures -- or delayed openings due to severe weather conditions.
Decisions to close school or delay starting times are always difficult. Before a decision is made, school and bus company officials monitor weather conditions and personally check roads. If conditions are severe enough to threaten the safety of students traveling to and from school, a decision is made to close or delay school.
This decision is made by
6 a.m.
If schools are closed in the morning, they are closed all day for all activities including evening classes or special evening programs unless otherwise announced.  It should not be necessary to call the school for this information.


How is the decision made?


Weather conditions vary throughout the school district. On days when school is closed or delayed, the district receives a tremendous number of phone calls from parents and community members questioning the decision. It is important to keep in mind that the safety of all students is important and schools may be closed or delayed because of severe weather conditions in one or two areas of the district.
