Have a plan for your child to stay with a friend or neighbor in the event that you will not be at home. Dismiss a half day early when conditions worsen early in the day. Dismiss one hour early to avoid rush hour traffic and to try to get students home before dark. S ee that your child dresses appropriately , for protection against the cold. Remember that your child attends The North Kansas City School District , not the Kansas City School District.
Safety is a primary concern .
Due to the complexity of our bus system and school schedules, three hours must elapse from the time a decision is made to close schools early until the last child can be delivered home. Parts of certain routes may have to be eliminated on very hazardous days to ensure your child's safety. Finally, you can be assured, that the district respects your decision not to send your child to school when the weather is questionable. The district's responsibility is to determine whether or not to hold school, whereas the decision for deciding what is best for your child resides with you.
