Many factors impact our decision to close or delay school. The safety of our entire student body is our priority. Because our district covers a very geographically diverse area, some families may experience dangerous weather conditions (e.g., ice, flooding) while others don’t. Staff drive across the district in the early hours of the morning to determine if all routes are safe for student transport.
Two-hour late start
The terms “two-hour late start” and “two-hour delay” may be used interchangeably. Buses and schools are two hours late.
What you can expect during a two-hour delay:
- Jump Start, preschool, or early learning programs or classes are canceled.
- Out-of-district transportation will not be provided.
- Breakfast will not be served, but lunch will be served at all schools.
Other program-specific information will be shared in district communications, including whether buses will run on emergency routes.
School cancellation
Schools are closed for the day(s) specified in district or school communications. We will share information about specific afterschool and evening programs in our communication with families and the community.
Emergency routes
On rare occasions, weather conditions may make it necessary to modify bus routes. When that occurs, the school and district offices will send out alerts via SchoolMessenger, the website, Facebook, Twitter, text, and email as soon as possible. The modified routes will be posted on the website on our Transportation webpage.
Weather conditions may cause schools to close early. In that event, the normal busing sequence will be followed. Please instruct your child what to do should there be an early school closure when you are not home during the regular school day. Please remind students to be especially careful when walking or waiting for a bus during bad weather.
