Winter Weather Reminders
Please remember to update your contact information in PowerSchool to receive notifications regarding weather-related schedule changes. If you need help with your PowerSchool account, please get in touch with your school office for assistance. Decisions will be made by 5:30 a.m., when possible, for late starts and cancelations.
Cold:
If the actual temperature is -15 or colder, school will be delayed or canceled. If the National Weather Service issues a wind chill advisory that would be in effect at the start of the school day, there may be a two-hour delay.
-
A wind chill advisory means that wind chill values are expected to fall to between -20° and -29° F.
If the National Weather Service issues a wind chill warning that would be in effect at the start of the school day, there will be a two-hour delay.
-
A wind chill warning means the wind chill values are expected to fall to -30°F or lower.
If the wind chill warning is in effect beyond 11:00 a.m., classes will be canceled.
Heat (and Cold):
The district has an energy-saving agreement with Alliant Energy to shut down power on the main campus should temperatures become too extreme (cold or hot). Buildings that would be directly affected by a power shutdown are Linn-Mar High School, Excelsior Middle School, Indian Creek Elementary, and the Learning Resource Center.
Snow:
School will be canceled if heavy snow and/or icy conditions make it exceedingly hazardous or impossible for school buses to travel their routes and/or for students and employees to report to school safely. Decisions and notifications will be made by 5:30 a.m., on the morning of a cancelation. As a general practice, all activities are canceled unless otherwise noted.
These general guidelines are subject to change at the Superintendent’s discretion. Each weather situation will be assessed independently.
