School closings for emergencies or inclement weather will be announced by using the automated telephone calling system, on our district website, putting announcements on selected media outlets, and leaving a message on the board office's answering machine.

Automated telephone calling system --- This system will call the home telephones of all students, staff, and board members with a message recorded by the superintendent relative to the situation. These calls will not be scheduled before 6:00 AM or later than 9:30 PM.
