| Delay and Cancellation Patterns Used |
In the event school is placed on a morning delay, early release or closed, follow one of these patterns:
- One (1) Hour Delay
- Two (2) Hour Delay
- Early Dismissal – Early dismissal for inclement weather will automatically cancel all after-school activities. Only high school activities scheduled for 6:00 p.m. or later might be permitted depending upon a radical weather reversal judged safe by the high school principal and superintendent.
- Cancellation of the School Day – Depending upon a radical weather reversal, evening activities may be permitted determined by the building principal and superintendent.
