Procedure for Delays and Cancellations
|
|
In an effort to continue to improve communication with families and to ensure the safety of students, we will now send a Skylert message (phone, text, and email) for all weather related changes to our school day (late start, early dismissal, or cancellation).
Previously, we have relied on television and radio for the early morning late start or cancellation. We typically have only used the Skylert message system (phone, text, email) for early dismissals and other announcement and reminders.
It has become clearer to us that more and more families have discontinued the use of television in their homes, and/or do not listen to local radio. As a result, too many families were not getting those early morning messages in a timely manner.
For more information on how a decision is made to delay or cancel school, please visit our
website. Follow the district's
Facebook page and stay up to date on news and information.

• If you have not already paid your elementary
registration fee for the 2018-19 school year, please do so as soon as possible. Please note that this $15 fee rolls over from year to year.
• The cold weather season is in full swing and we have noticed some children coming to school without proper attire. Please make sure your children have coats, snow pants, hats and gloves on them when they come to school. If you need assistance in obtaining appropriate winter gear, please contact Mr. Bierman at (608) 963-5278.
