Delayed Start
A delayed start schedule could enable the school district to have school after a two-hour delay. This would allow road crews and mother nature to help make it safe for students, staff, and families to travel to school. Delayed start school schedules will be determined by building principals.

Snow Days
Snow Day
A school day may be canceled due to winter weather conditions. When school days are canceled, all school activities and events are canceled for that day, including facility rentals. The first and second snow day will not be made up. The third and fourth snow days will be made up using our build in snow days.
