INCLEMENT WEATHER AND SCHOOL CANCELLATIONS
With winter fast approaching, the thought of having a “snow day” can be on students’ and parents’ minds. In most cases, the decision to call school off is usually made after driving the roads, conferencing with the County Road Department, and talking with other area school superintendents. The decision to call off school for the day is not a decision that is taken lightly.
When bad weather threatens the safe operation of our buses and there is a need to cancel school for the day, almost all area radio stations and television channels, including 4, 5, 9, 13, 27, 41, and 62 carry USD #289 school closing information. Sometimes, when the call is made to cancel school, the stations and/or channels do not always get the information broadcast in a timely manner. This is regrettable, and we will do everything that we can to be sure all parents are notified in a timely manner. Parents can also call the school district info line 883-2388 or visit the school district website. If school is canceled due to inclement weather, it will be posted on the web and on the information phone line.
