Inclement Weather Procedures
Inclement Weather Procedures
With temperatures cooling and snow falling, we wanted to make you aware of District's 303's procedures for responding to inclement weather situations and communicating with our families.
When safety concerns emerge due to hazardous amounts of snow, ice, and extreme cold, the Superintendent may choose to implement a full-day school closure, delayed start or early dismissal.
When Will a Decision Be Made?
In most cases, decisions are made on the morning of the inclement weather event. To the extent possible based on forecasted or actual weather conditions, an announcement will be made at 5 a.m. or before to either:
- 1) Close all schools or select schools, and cancel activities, or
- 2) Delay the start of onsite operations.
How Will I be Notified?
District 303 will send notifications to families through the Finalsite (formerly ParentLink) system by text message, phone call and email. Parents/guardians can access the Home Access Center to view and edit their contact settings. To receive timely emergency communications, we strongly encourage families to enable text notifications. For most people, this is the fastest way to receive and view important messages.
