School will be cancelled or a two-hour delayed start implemented only after roads are tested. Should cancellation, a two-hour delayed start, efforts will be made to notify radio and television stations by 6:00 a.m. Information will also be sent via text and email, posted on the district's Web site, and on CPS-TV.

Parents may make the final decision regarding a child's attendance. If the parent views the weather too severe or road conditions too dangerous, absences will be excused.

Difficulty in contacting parents usually prevents early dismissals, but under appropriate circumstances the district may dismiss early. On inclement weather days, please continue listening to local radio and television stations for news of early dismissal. Additionally, information will be sent via the district's parent messaging system. 

If you have questions about the new delayed school start during inclement weather, please contact your child's school or the district administration building.
