Inclement Weather School Delay/Closure

Inclement Weather School Delay/Closure Information


When weather conditions make travel unsafe, schools may either close for the day, open two hours late with regular bus routes, or open with snow bus routes. Changes to the school schedule are usually announced by 6 a.m.

Delay Schedule for 2025-2026 School Year

  • All K-3, K-6, or K-12 in-person instructional school day programs will begin 2 hours later than normal; Students will be released at their regularly scheduled end time.

To make it clear- If we cancel school for the day due to inclement weather we are cancelling all educational programs and services for the day. This is due to unsafe driving conditions for staff coming into their work sites.
