SCHOOL CLOSING INFORMATION

CANCELLATIONS | DELAYS | EARLY RELEASE


❄️ Severe weather may cause any one of the following ❄️

  • Cancellation
    The school day is canceled due to severe weather and unsafe conditions.
  • Delay
    The start of the school day will begin 1-2 hours after normal start time due to severe weather and unsafe conditions.
  • Early Release
    Students are released before the normal end time due to severe weather and unsafe conditions.

INCLEMENT WEATHER: 
Student safety is our number one concern! The decision to cancel school, delay classes, or release early is based on the safety of the roads, students exposure to extreme temperatures, as well as timing and severity of snow storms. Reports from National Weather Services, the local Highway Department, the Sheriff's Department, and other local school districts heavily influence these decisions. Weather is monitored throughout the night and early morning and a decision is made between 5am-6:30am.

enlightenedIf school is not called off but parents think that it should be, parents have the option to keep their children home or pick them up early if they feel that it is in the child's best interest. We ask that parents call the school to inform staff of the child's absence or early pick up. The student(s) will be given an excused absence, per policy.

IMPORTANT BUSING INFORMATION:

Severe weather can impact student transportation both before and after school. Whenever roads require safer bus travel, please be aware that your child’s bus may arrive later than the normal pick up or drop off time(s).

We ask that you please be patient when dealing with our transportation system when there is severe weather. A safe bus ride for students is our top priority! 

Please direct transportation questions to First Student:
