2017 Five Star Journal Winter Issue

How to know when inclement
weather will impact school
When inclement weather arrives, the Five Star District closely monitors weather
reports and road conditions, and makes a decision regarding school operations
using the following three options:
• OPEN: All schools will operate on a normal schedule.
• 2-HOUR DELAYED START: New this year, a 2-hour delayed start may be
announced if temporary adverse weather conditions exist during morning rush
hour. In the event of an announced 2-hour delayed start, families will add two
hours to the start of the school day. Example: if school normally starts at 8 a.m.,
it will start at 10 a.m. More information: www.adams12.org/delayedstart.
• CLOSED: All schools are closed and all scheduled activities in the school
building are canceled.
The district makes every effort to announce a decision by 5:30 a.m.
