General Information

If inclement weather forces District leaders to cancel in-person instruction during the 2023-24 school year, the first two instances would result in no-school days for students. Any subsequent weather-related closures would result in the District implementing a flex-learning day. Students in grades 5-12 would use their devices to access learning plans on Schoology. Families with students in grades K-4 would receive learning plans via email from teachers that morning.

Winter Weather Cancellations

School will be cancelled if heavy snow and/or icy conditions make it extremely hazardous or impossible for school buses to travel their routes and for employees to get to work safely. The Superintendent makes the decision in consultation with the district’s school bus company, the National Weather Service, and superintendents in neighboring school districts. 

Every effort will be made to make a decision by 6:00 a.m. on the morning of a cancellation. 

Notification will be sent directly to families through Infinite Campus by phone, email, and text message. Information will also be posted on the district website and the district's social media channels. Notification will also be sent to local television media outlets (KARE-11, KSTP-5, FOX-9, WCCO-4).

Parents always have the option to keep their student(s) at home during bad weather conditions.
