Weather Related School Closings
All unscheduled school closing, late start, or early release information will be communicated in the following ways:
- Phone Call: School families that have a phone number on file with our Districts will receive a phone call.
- E-mail: School families that have a phone number on file with our Districts will receive a phone call.
- Text (be sure you have opted in to receive text messages from School Messenger - the district's emergency response notification system)
- District and School Websites: An alert message will be displayed on the district homepage
- Postings on District Social Media Channels
- Local Radio and Television Outlets
NOTE: Cancellations of other programs and events will also be announced.
All school closings and/or schedule changes are decided by the Superintendent or their designee. The most important consideration in this decision is the safety of our students and staff.
Decisions to cancel or shorten the regular school day and after-school activities will be made by the superintendent or their designee in consultation with other staff, and may include consultation with local city personnel and neighboring school districts, as appropriate. The Director of Buildings and Grounds and the Bus Company will consult with the Superintendent to ensure facilities are able to receive students and busses are able to run routes.
Every effort is made to make a decision the evening before a weather event as we understand the impact on families and staff. Sometimes the unpredictable Wisconsin weather makes an early decision not possible. We will announce a change to the school schedule as soon as we are able.
Days missed for inclement weather or other causes may be made up in order to comply with district policy and state statutes.
