Last year we used a two hour delay for days when the weather was dangerous, but we felt there was a chance that conditions would improve within two hours. If a delay is called, we will have time to fully assess the conditions and will have the option to call school off for the entire day if necessary. If we delay school for two hours, the day will qualify as a full school day according to state standards. Here are some possible scenarios that could occur this winter:

1. Two hour delay decision is made at or before 6:00 a.m. Weather conditions improve and students and staff report to their schools two hours later than the normal start time. School will end at the regular time. Busses will likewise run two hours later than normal in the morning, but students will be bussed home at the normal ending time. Morning Latchkey will be cancelled if a two hour delay is called. For a two hour delay, these times will apply:

                        High school classes begin at 9:45, end at 2:30

Middle school classes begin at 9:50, end at 2:45

            Elementary school classes begin at 10:45, end at 3:15

Preschool morning classes will be cancelled; full day classes will begin at 10:00 a.m. and end at normal time

2. Two hour delay decision is made at or before 6:00 a.m. Weather conditions do NOT improve; cancellation decision is made at or before 8:00 a.m. Students and teachers do not report to school. Administrative and other staff members who are required to work will report to buildings.

We hope to avoid calling calamity days, but no one can predict what the winter months will bring. Be assured that we will always make decisions based on students’ best interest and safety. We understand that every family has different challenges when it comes to aligning beginning school times and parent work times, and we hope that this information will give you the opportunity to make the necessary arrangements to meet your individual family needs.
