When bad weather is predicted, administrators pay close attention to forecasts, stay in close contact with neighboring district administrators and work in coordination with transportation in order to make the best decision for the safety and security of students and staff. 

Before the school day: The decision to cancel or delay a school day will be made by the district administration as early as possible and communicated by the district and local radio and TV stations. We will work to make a decision by 5:30 am or 9:00 p.m. the prior night.  

During the school day: If a significant weather event occurs while school is in session, administrators will make the best-informed decision and determine if an early release is necessary.  Decisions to release early will happen before 1:00 p.m. 

Weather and road conditions can vary greatly from area to area. As a result, parents are the ultimate decision-makers on whether or not their students will attend school. Parents need to notify the school office if their students will not be in school or if they will be picked up early due to weather conditions.
