Bad weather and other situations may result in changes to school or bus schedules. In bad weather, we will announce changes by 6:00 a.m. Soon after, we communicate with families. If you don't hear from us, it means schools and buses are operating normally.
Communication
We've made changes to how we communicate about school closures or delays due to bad weather. We will contact families in the following ways:
-
Text Message
Please keep your phone number updated with your school. If you prefer a phone call and want to stop receiving text messages, text "STOP" to 66458.
-
Email to Families
Community members may also register for district news and alerts.
-
ParentSquare App Alert (optional for registered guardians)
-
District and School Websites
-
District Facebook Account
-
Landline Phone Call
If you have a landline, we will call you. Don't have a landline but still want to receive a call? If you prefer a phone call and want to stop receiving text messages, text "STOP" to 66458.
Please take a moment to review our troubleshooting guide and ensure your ParentSquare is up to date. If you need additional help, please complete this form.
Types of Schedule Changes
Depending on the situation, actions we take could include:
In some cases, preschool, out-of-district transportation, and after school student or community activities may be canceled.
How can I prepare my family?
We encourage you to make plans ahead of time so your child will have a safe place to stay if you are not at home. Be sure your child understands what to do if changes are made to school or bus schedules. It may help to write the answers down and keep them where your child can find them in an emergency.
