What happens if inclement weather happens during the school day?
Generally speaking the Superintendent does not like to make “early dismissal” decisions to shorten the school day. Because there are many parents who work and don’t have backup childcare plans, there may be many students who may have unsupervised bus stops and empty homes to go back to if classes are dismissed early. However, if conditions worsen during a school day, we may start the buses at the middle and high school level 30-45 minutes ahead of schedule. The early start at the secondary schools is an attempt to keep the elementary bus schedules running on time. This is NOT an early dismissal, so we will not put this message out on Alert Now. We do encourage your secondary school child to let you know if he/she needs you to pick him up early.
