SCHOOL CLOSINGS, DELAYS, & EARLY DISMISSALS

Occasionally, inclement weather or other safety or health conditions require us to close or delay all or some schools. Decisions are made by 5:30 a.m. for morning closings and delays, and whenever possible, by 11:30 a.m. for early closings. For the fastest, most reliable information on school closings and delays, check the following:

Students enrolled in programs at the Career and Technology Center (CTC) are to report to the CTC when there is a delayed opening or early dismissal of school. Students assigned to morning or afternoon CTC classes should report as usual to the Senior Cafeteria until buses depart for the CTC either at the beginning of Block 1 or the end of the first lunch shift. Students that normally leave at different times during the day for work study, Student Service Learning, etc. will be allowed to do so without penalty.
