Inclement Weather

Inclement Weather During Comprehensive Distance Learning (CDL)

All classes and school schedules will continue on time in Comprehensive Distance Learning (CDL), even if district facilities are closed due to inclement weather. In other words, we will not have any "snow days" in CDL.

If district facilities are closed, any on-site classes/programs including Limited In-Person Instruction (LIPI) will be canceled. All daytime and evening activities/events also will be canceled. 

School closure or delayed start decisions will typically be communicated to media outlets and posted on the District website, Facebook and Twitter by 5:30 a.m. and School Messenger text, email or phone (depending on selected preferences).

We encourage families to make transportation and attendance decisions for their child(ren) based on their own assessment of travel conditions at their location.

• All daytime and evening activities/events on closure days are cancelled.

When there is a 2-hour delay in opening school
