District Calendar
*Each school year calendar includes four emergency closing days. If not used, they will be given as vacation days on dates to be announced. In the event of extended emergency closing days, the Board will revise this calendar to include make-up days, beyond the four emergency closing days, in this order: Presidents’ Day; 5 days at Spring Recess beginning on first Friday working backwards and ending on the Monday prior to Spring Recess; weekends; and then the extension of the school year through June 30. Again, all emergency closing days will be made up to ensure 186 staff days and 182 student days on a given school year.
Daily Schedule
2026-2027 School Year – Rotating Drop Block Monthly Schedule
* Note: In the event of a school closure for inclement weather or emergency, the above daily schedule does not change so the scheduled day is skipped when school is closed. For instance, if school is closed on a C Day and school reopens the next day, the next day will remain a D Day as per the daily schedule above.

School Closing Information
In the case of actual or predicted inclement weather, the decision to close school, delay an opening or dismiss early is made after the Superintendent confers with various area superintendents, county road officials, police departments and transportation and maintenance departments, in addition to several weather services. Any change to the normal schedule due to inclement weather will be communicated to parents and staff via the methods listed below.
- If school is cancelled:
- A decision will usually be made by 5:30 a.m.
- A decision on afternoon and evening athletic events and activities will be made later in the day depending on road conditions and condition of campus. Outside groups using the facility may be cancelled. To check the rescheduling of athletic events, please visit the athletic department’s webpage on the individual school’s website, or Twitter feed, for the most up-to-date information.
- If school is delayed:
- A decision will usually be made by 5:30 a.m.
- School will begin two hours later at 9:45 a.m.
- All bus routes will be delayed exactly 2 hours from their original pick-up times.
- The decision is based upon safe traveling conditions predicted for later in the morning.
- If school is dismissed early:
- Students will usually be dismissed at 11:55 a.m., if weather conditions call for an early dismissal.
- The decision will be made by 10:45 a.m.
- Please note: when schools are dismissed early, all afternoon, evening and athletic activities are cancelled.
- The Superintendent contacts our 11 sending district superintendents to inform them of our decision, as well as various area superintendents and the County Superintendent of Schools.
Communicating School Closures, Delayed Openings or Early Dismissals
The high school district uses an automated notification system called “MessageXR Enterprise” to contact parents and staff members in the event of an emergency or if the school day schedule will be changed, such as a school closure due to snow. MessageXR contacts the phone numbers listed in our system for each student’s family and our staff members, sends an email to parents, and can also send a text message.
In addition to MessageXR, parents and the community can utilize the following resources to find out if school has been cancelled, delayed or will be dismissed early. These resources will have the district’s message on cancellations or delayed openings by 6:00a.m. or in the case of an early dismissal, by 11:00a.m.
