School Delays / Closures
Flash Alert Emergency Notification System
This Internet-based service is used to provide weather-related school closure information and important information in the event of an emergency. Parents/Guardians can sign up for email alerts and download the Flash Alert app to receive push notifications. To sign up for Flash Alert notifications, visit the FlashAlert website.
Inclement Weather Information Messages for Parents/Guardians/Community
In the event of inclement weather, school closures or delayed start decisions will typically be made and posted on the District website the night before. When a decision cannot be made the night before, early morning decisions will be determined and shared as soon as possible with staff and families. Details will be communicated to local media (including TV, radio, and newspapers) via FlashAlert. Information is also sent to parents/guardians via ParentSquare.
We encourage and support families to make attendance decisions for your child(ren) based on your own assessment of travel conditions at your location.
