2009-2010 SCHOOL CALENDAR *
Delayed Openings Due to
Inclement Weather
The District will invoke procedures for delayed
school openings as necessary when inclement
weather or other emergency conditions result
in potentially hazardous roads or facilities. A
delayed opening will result in a two-hour
postponement of the normal school hours.
On such days, buses will make all regular
stops two hours later than their regularly
scheduled times. During this two-hour
delay, the District will continue to monitor
the weather conditions as they affect road
and street conditions. Parents are urged to
continue to monitor radio and television
stations and the District website, after the
initial announcement of the delayed opening
is made, in the event that the District
needs to close school for the entire day.
Announcements regarding school closing for
the day will be made no later than one hour
before school is expected to open.
