The decision to either delay the start of the school day and transportation services, send students home early, or close some or all District schools is made with the safety and wellbeing of your child in mind and the information available at the time.  Information will be communicated via local radio and television stations as well as our messaging system, and posted on the District website.  To keep you fully informed, it is imperative that your child’s school has your updated contact information. 

Sometimes weather conditions leave some roads blocked or unsafe to travel, but school is still being held. Under these circumstances, "straight line routes" will be run. This is the information you will get on the web page or radio/TV stations.

There's a very strong correlation between good attendance and success in school. On the other hand, students who regularly miss school are also more likely to struggle in school.

Missed days add up quickly: Just two days a month puts a child's success in jeopardy because students fall behind and disconnect. By third grade, it gets much more difficult to catch up. Students who regularly miss school can quickly feel hopeless, and returning becomes harder and harder.

The reasons for chronic absenteeism are understandable but they must be addressed. Troubleshooting issues that are keeping a student away from school can make a difference immediately and for the long term. Students with solid attendance are much more likely to be successful during school and after graduation.
