- Automated Phone Calls and Emails: Notifications will be sent to the contact information provided by families.
- Local News Outlets: Information will be shared with local TV and radio stations.
Preparing for Winter Weather and Emergencies
To ensure a smooth transition during unexpected changes, we encourage families to:
- Keep Contact Information Updated: Notify your child’s school immediately if your phone number or email address changes.
- Develop a Family Plan: Have a plan for child care and transportation in case of early dismissals or delays.
- Dress for the Weather: Make sure students are dressed appropriately for cold temperatures if attending school.
Types of Notifications

- Delayed Openings: Start times may be adjusted to allow for safer travel.
- Early Dismissals: In rare cases, schools may close early to ensure everyone gets home safely.
