School closure or 2-hour delay?

What families need to know


With snow in the forecast, we want families to be familiar with the district’s 2-hour delay and school closure information. We will make every effort to inform you of any schedule changes by 6 a.m.


This information is also relevant for other possible events, such as a windstorm, power outage, earthquake or other emergency.
