Weather Closure & Late Start Info
When will we know if school will start late or is closed?
When possible we will notify you the night before if we are going to start late or be closed for the day. If we are unable to notify you the night before, we will send an email, text message, and post information on FB, Instagram and Twitter before 6am.
If you don't hear from us by 6am you can ASSUME that we are on time and all bus routes are running as normal, there is NO need to call the school and check!
In rare circumstances conditions can change after 6am, such as the power going out. If that happens will will immediately send out an "urgent" message to families through our normal process. We will also include a voice message.
Please note, if we have snow routes in the morning we will have them in the afternoon regardless of the weather. Click on the link below for our snow route locations and times
Inclement Weather Schedule
When we have emergency events we have two options:
- Late Start - school will start at 10:30am.
- Closed for the day - if it is unsafe to drive on the roads, power is out, etc.
Late Start
If we have a late start day due to the weather, the bus will be at your child's normal stop two hours later than their normal pickup time. If the route is modified, we will notify you when we send out the delay notice.
What if we have late start on our regular Monday late start days? School will start at 10:30 as described above. Expect the bus to arrive an hour later than normal for late start Mondays.
Please take a few minutes and familiarize yourself with the alternative locations at the following webpage: Inclement Weather Bus Routes
Closed for the Day - Make Up Days
If we have to close for the day, we are required by state law to make up the days. We build the make up days into our calendar. For this year they are on: February 18th, May 27th and June 15-17. We will notify families a couple of weeks prior to any makeup days so you can plan your calendar accordingly.
