Winter Weather

Winter Weather Procedures & Reminders

School will be canceled, or a 2-hour delayed start will be implemented after roads are tested. Should cancellation or a 2-hour delayed start be necessary, efforts will be made to notify radio and television stations by 6 a.m. If a decision can be made earlier than 6 a.m., the district will make every effort to do so. Information will also be sent via the district's parent messaging system, posted on the district’s website, and on CPS-TV.

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

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

Your child's school will provide direction and updates on specific after-school activities in the event of inclement weather, as each school building will have different scheduling and rescheduling needs.

Stay Informed

• Parents and guardians are automatically signed up to receive text, phone, and email messages from your child's school and the district via the district's parent messaging system. If you are not receiving text messages and emails, please contact the registrar at your child’s school(s) to update your contact information. E-mail and text messages will be sent in the event of a weather cancellation to parents with correct contact information on file with their child’s school.
