Late Openings
When a decision is made to open school late, an announcement will be made using our phone system and TV/radio announcement procedure as used for school closings. However, the message will be that school will open one hour or two hours late. The late opening time for Adult Education is always 10AM.
Early Dismissals
Occasionally, fast moving weather systems will cause the early dismissal of students. The phone system system for emergency closings during the school day will be used to notify parents and other agencies. Radio and television stations will broadcast the notice of the early dismissal. We will also post all updates on our social media platforms. Unless otherwise stated in an emergency closing message, schools will use the following schedule on half days and early dismissal days:
Please note that whenever there is an early dismissal, that also means Adult Education classes normally held in the evening are cancelled. Please refer to the Adult Education Website for any official messages.
Here are the school schedules for the 2023-2024 school year. Please note that there are three schedules listed - regular schedule, 2-hour late opening, and a 2-hour early dismissal.
