Emergency School Closings

When inclement weather or any other emergency situation forces the closing of schools, an alert will be posted on the District website and automated phone calls, emails and/or text messages will be made to families. The information will also be submitted to local television and radio stations as well as posted on the District’s official social media accounts. Please do not telephone the schools. The decision to close schools in weather-related situations will be made no later than 6:15 a.m.

On the rare occasion that it may be necessary to close schools during the day, an announcement will be made as soon as possible through the same communication channels. Should an emergency early dismissal occur, the District will attempt to transport students to their homes in the same manner that they are usually taken home at the close of the school day. If both the elementary and secondary schools must close early, the District will try to dismiss secondary first so that older siblings will be home to care for younger siblings. It is especially important that families pre-arrange child care in the event that an emergency school closing is necessary. If the pre-arranged child care is at a different site than the child’s home, the principal should be notified in advance so that proper transportation can be arranged.

When schools are closed due to weather, all other activities, including sports and clubs, will be cancelled for the entire day.

To ensure you receive emergency notifications, please contact your school's main office to confirm that your contact information is up-to-date.
