In case of an emergency

• Students and staff in each school will follow a plan developed with local law enforcement and emergency agencies.
• Parents should listen to radio or tv stations, check the district mobile app, website or their email
• The district will use the automated calling system in the event of an emergency
• If students and staff must be evacuated from school, parents will be instructed where to pick children up

School Closure Procedures
Severe weather, power outages or other conditions may require schools to start late, cancel classes or close early. The decision to cancel classes or delay the start of school will be made by 5:30 a.m.

Schools will close unless the majority of the students in the district can travel safely. Weather on the mountains may be hazardous, while roads in town are safe for travel.

If schools are forced to close during the school day, every effort is made to contact parents. Notification will be sent out on the mobile app, text messages,  through local media, social media, website, hotlines and telephone calls. Parents are encouraged to develop a plan for their child in the event of an early closure.
