A delayed opening means that bus schedules will also be delayed accordingly. For example, if the bus pick-up is normally 7:54 a.m., a one-hour delay will change that time to 8:54 a.m., and a two-hour delay will change that time to 9:54 a.m. All out-of-district school openings will be delayed by one or two hours as well, including private, parochial, and occupational education programs.
A delayed opening is subject to change if the weather or road conditions remain hazardous. The Superintendent may opt to modify the above guidelines or to close schools if the potential for hazardous conditions continues, and will send out subsequent communications to notify the school community.
CANCELLATIONS:
If there is a delayed opening, the following programs will be cancelled:
All Field Trips
