School Delays
In instances where the district decides a late start is
in order, school will begin two hours later than the normal start time.
A delay
means if your child's bus normally picks up at 8 a.m., your child would
be picked up at 10 a.m. for a two-hour
delay.
If you usually drop your child off at school or
your child walks to school, please make sure it corresponds with the
delay. Please do not send your child to school at the
normal start time when school is delayed. The building will not be open,
and there will be no staff available to supervise children.
Closing School Early
When it is necessary to close school early, early
closings typically will be two and one-half hours earlier than the normal ending
time of classes. For example, if your child's school day normally ends
at 2:30 p.m., it would close at noon.
In addition, when
school closes early all after-school activities and childcare services
are cancelled. If your child is transported to an after-school program
and school closes early, you must make arrangements to have your child
picked up at the school building. No alternate transportation
arrangements can be made on short notice.

delayed starts or early dismissals and for specific details, please use
