School cancellations and early dismissals will be passed along to the news media as soon as the decisions are made. So, your best source of information will be the local media, particularly the electronic media. In addition, check out Channel 41 and the School District s web site. If possible, we will make the decision and announcement to cancel school prior to 6 a.m. If possible, we will make the decision and announcement regarding an early dismissal by noon.
Early dismissal means that school and school bus schedules are moved up two hours.
Second, be sure your family has a plan of action for your child. Be sure your child knows where to go if there is an early dismissal. Having such a plan will make an early dismissal safer for your child, and will eliminate your having to call school with instructions. Occasionally, because of conditions, we shift from regular bus routes to alternate routes. In addition, remember that when the weather is bad, but school is not cancelled, parents have the ultimate authority in determining whether to send their child to school.
