While we try to keep schools open on every instructional day, there may be times when schools must close due to extreme weather, particularly heavy snowfalls. Our default is always to try to keep schools open if possible, except for when our school buses may not be able to safely run and there are serious safety risks for students travelling to and from school.

Parents, students and school district staff will be informed when schools are closed through the school district's website, their school website, , , by 7 a.m. at the latest. Those who have downloaded and enabled notifications from the district's parent portal app will get a notice to their cell phone as soon as the message is posted to our websites.

When all schools across the district are closed, or if power outages prevent us from posting a closure notice, the local media will be notified. If there is no announcement on the school website/social media, listen to one of the local radio stations:

• 99.7 FM - The River
• 97.3 FM - The Eagle
• 98.9 FM - The Jet

No announcements by 7:00 a.m. means schools are open and operating as usual.

Even if schools are open, we respect and support parents if you feel that it is unsafe to send your child to school or wish to pick-up your child early due to potentially unsafe weather conditions. If you choose to keep your child home, please report your child's absence through the school's attendance line.
