❄️SPAPSD Inclement Weather Procedures
How are weather-related school closure decisions made?
The transportation manager and superintendent jointly monitor the weather through the previous day/evening/early morning hours. By 5:30 a.m., they will determine road conditions and weather impact/outlook. Based on the safety and timing of bus travel and the status of the weather, the superintendent will make the decision to close or not to close schools/district for the day.
Option #1 - Good Old Fashioned Snow Day: All Stevens Point Area Public Schools are closed. No after-school activities will occur on days when schools are closed due to inclement weather. This option will be used based on the weather event and the District’s ability to meet Department of Public Instruction minute requirements.
Option #2 -E-Learning Day: All Stevens Point Area Public Schools are closed for in-person learning and students will have an E-Learning day. No after-school activities will occur on days when schools are closed for in-person learning due to inclement weather.
Option #3-Early Dismissal: Dismissal time is determined based on weather and communicated to families as quickly as possible. If possible the decision will be made no later than 11:30 a.m. No after-school activities occur on early dismissal days. Boys and Girls Club and Great Escape may remain at school-based sites.
Option #4 -After-School Activities and Events Cancelled: If school is held, but inclement weather approaches, the decision to cancel after-school events will be made by 2:00 p.m. The decision to cancel after school events/contests scheduled at other non-district sites, locations, other schools, etc., will be made on a case-by-case basis together with the hosting school/entity.
How will I be notified if school is closed?
Once a decision to close, early dismiss, or cancel after-school activities and events has been made, parents, staff and the community will be notified through the following communication channels;
- District website - www.PointSchools.net
- Phone, text, and email notification (contact your school to update your contact information)
- District and School Social Media Channels
- Local media outlets.
