LATE STARTS FOR WEATHER

Over the last several years, the school district has utilized six or more inclement weather days during the winter months. In some instances, the school district might have been able to have school in session if it had a few extra hours for weather and/or road conditions to improve.

Several years ago, the school district added a two-hour delayed school start as an option during inclement weather conditions. This option would be in addition to other safety measures that include full school day cancellations and/or early dismissals.

2-HOUR DELAY START FAQ

1) Why have a 2-hour delay start?

● This option allows us to keep students’ safety as a top priority, while also maximizing instructional time during the regularly calendared school year.

● Avoid extension of the school year into the beginning of summer school.

● Provide pre-planning—generally, the night before—for a minor morning weather event.

2) When will we use a 2-hour delay start?

● When temperatures are expected to be very cold in the night thus creating a colder morning for students waiting for school buses.

● When either (a) the forecast is for bad weather in the early hours of the morning, or (b) when small amounts of winter precipitation fall early in the morning and can be removed from roadways and parking lots in a short period of time.

3) What will the school day look like during a 2-hour delay start?

● Every school and bus route will start two hours later than usual.

● One breakfast option will be served and lunch will be available at the normal schedule.

● School will release at the normal time.

● Certain programs, schedules, and classes would adjust inside the shortened school day.

4) How will the 2-hour delay start affect when my child gets picked up in the morning?

● Pickup times will be approximately two hours later than normal. For example, if your child gets picked up normally at 6:58 AM, on delay start days your child will be picked up at 8:58 AM. 5) When will the doors open to the buildings?

● Doors will open 2 hours later than normal.

5) How does a 2 hour delay impact preschool students?

● In the event of a 2 hour delayed start, AM preschool only will be canceled. PM preschool class times will remain the same and transportation will still be provided to the school, however, please be mindful pick-up times are approximate.
