What to do Parents should tune in to television and radio stations for notice of school cancellations or delays. Notices are given to the media as early as possible. School may be delayed one or two hours or delayed at first, and then canceled as weather conditions worsen. Parents should stay tuned to radio and TV since a delay may become a closing if weather conditions worsen. Please make plans for your child in case of bad weather.
Parents have the first and ultimate responsibility for their children.
Parents must decide for themselves if their child's route to school is safe on days when the weather is bad and schools remain open. Students are given an excused absence in these cases. The child is marked absent for the day, but is allowed to make up any school work. The state requires a 180-day school year. A school district may request a waiver for days missed due to emergency school closings.
