Inclement Weather Tips
   
Ever wonder how, why or if school  is delayed or canceled due to extreme cold temperatures or other winter weather? Check out the  wind chill information sheet . You can also download the  inclement weather information  sheet to find out more about the process and how the decision is made by our district office officials.
 
 
 

We urge students to wear a coat, winter hats, gloves, heavy coats (layer up) and boots during cold weather.  Frostbite and hypothermia are serious risks as well as potential bus or vehicle trouble to and from school.  

In the event school is delayed, cancelled or dismissed early, we will send out an automated phone call to the primary household, as well as, post the information on our social media outlets and webpage.
