How Dismissal Decisions are Communicated

We will always post information on our website and social media pages and send recorded voice messages to parents’ phone numbers regarding altered dismissals due to inclement weather. Our emergency notification system automatically imports phone numbers from school records. Therefore, it is very important that you keep your contact information current on the school’s records. We want you to receive important messages, so please make sure your phone numbers listed in your student’s Infinite Campus records are accurate. Click here for more information about how to update your Infinite Campus contact information. 

You may also learn about school closings by tuning in to one of the following:

Reopening of school will not be announced, but the closing announcement will be made each day as necessary. In the unlikely event that the decision is made to dismiss students before the end of the school day, radio and TV stations will be notified, and the automated phone calling system will be activated to inform parents directly.
