SCHOOL DISTRICT 6
SCHOOL CLOSURE DUE TO INCLEMENT WEATHER
The School District
will consider one of the following options when making decisions
regarding school closures during inclement weather situations:
1. Schools will remain open as usual. Therefore, no radio announcements will be
made.
2. All schools will be closed for the day. An appropriate announcement will be relayed
to radio stations prior to 6:30 a.m. for broadcast. Parents are urged to listen to local radio
stations early in the morning on days when the weather is inclement.
3. Some schools will be closed. An appropriate announcement will be relayed
to radio stations as outlined above.
4. Buses are delayed one hour, with all schools in
the district opening at their regular time to receive students. An appropriate announcement will be relayed
to radio stations as outlined above.
5. Schools may be closed early when the weather
conditions are anticipated to deteriorate significantly during the day. Every effort will be made to notify parents,
through talk mail, and announcements will be made on radio stations. If the weather is deteriorating, you may want
to check your home phone for a message, or our District snow line or website. It is important to ensure that alternate arrangements are in place for your child/children if schools are dismissed
early.
Ultimately, parents have the final decision in
inclement weather situations. If you feel that walking/driving conditions
in your particular area are hazardous, you maychoose not to send your child/children
to school. Absences on these days will
not be a factor in determining a student’s attendance record
