In a delay situation, staff members are expected to report at the usual time, if possible.
Early Dismissals Due to Weather:                          
A. Once students arrive at school on a stormy day every effort is made to avoid early dismissal because of the disruption that it causes.
B. Should schools close early, the Middle and High Schools will be closed first. The Elementary Schools will be closed following the Middle and High School runs. Bus drivers, radio stations, fire stations, and dispatch center will be notified.
