Information about School Delays and Closures 

Possible Delays:

If it is announced that school is 1 hour delayed - that means school starts at 10:10. Everything scheduled before 10:10 will be canceled - including activities like Choir and any meetings scheduled with staff. School will still get out at 3:35. Watch eNews to determine if after school events will take place. 

If it is announced that school is 2 hours delayed - that means school starts at 11:10. Everything scheduled before 11:10 will be canceled - including activities like Choir and any meetings scheduled with staff. School will still get out at 3:35. Watch eNews to determine if after school events will take place. 

If it is announced that school is closed - all before and after school activities will be canceled. 

Watch your mailbox during the next week of November 6 for the ISD 2017-18 school year Emergency Transportation Bulletin. This mailer includes information on snow routes and emergency stops, as well as program cancellations and schedule changes due to inclement weather. The bulletin also includes information on communication of school delays or closure. An electronic copy of the Emergency Transportation Bulletin can be found on the district website here.

School closures and delays are announced early in the morning, usually between 6:00 and 6:30 a.m. If you anticipate emergency transportation conditions, please check for an announcement on TV, radio, or the Internet.

Parking Lot Rules:

• Adults stay in car at all times. If you need to assist your child getting in or out of the car, you will need to park rather than use the drop off/pick up lane.
• Students are ready to exit on the RIGHT only. Have coats on and backpacks/lunches nearby when you leave your house rather than waiting until it is time to exit. Students MUST exit to the right safely onto the sidewalk, not to the left into passing traffic.
• Drop off/Pick up in the white lines only! Once you are in the diagonal white lines, you are ready to stop. But first, pull all the way forward, do not leave large gaps before stopping to drop off or pick up children. Do not stop in the cross walk.
• Do not drop off on the “wrong” side of the parking lot! Wait until you have circled all the way around to the diagonal white lines. Do not drop off on the other side and allow your children to walk across the parking lot or cross walk.
• Say your "Good byes", "I love yous" and reminders of the pick up plans as soon as you enter the parking lot. 
• Drive slowly. Plan your drop off time so that it allows for traffic. If you are on a tight schedule, walking or riding with a friend is a better option.
• Pay attention to adult crossing guards and student safety patrollers. They know the rules and are trying to enforce them for everyone’s benefit. Eyes up and not on cell phones or watching students walk to class.
• Engage civilly. Moments of frustration are bound to occur. Remembering our Culture of Kindness and our District's Civility Regulation are important.
