Emergency Closings

Weather conditions often make transportation difficult.  Where there is a question as to whether classes will be in session, official announcements of school closings will be made for Northwest include St. John's.  Plan ahead.  It is always wise to have your child know an alternative plan or a safe-place ( a neighbor's house) to go should an emergency closing or early  dismissal occur, and you cannot be contacted.

Explanation of Inclement Weather Plans

Inclement weather plans will be announced on the radio (700 WLW) as follows:

1.  Northwest Schools will be closed.

2.  Two-hour delay with limited transportation

This means there will be a two-hour delay with limited transportation.  Limited transportation means that our school buses will not go down roads in the district that are steep, snow covered and/or icy.

 

3. Two-hour delay

This means there will be a two-hour delay with full transportation.  Full transportation 

means that the buses will travel all roads.

4.  Limited Transportation - Regular starting time with limited transportation

Special Note Concerning 1/2 Day Kindergarten

On days when there is a delay, morning kindergarten will be canceled and afternoon kindergarten will be held at the regular time.

 

WHEN A TWO-HOUR DELAY IS ANNOUNCED, BE SURE TO CONTINUE TO MONITOR SCHOOL CLOSING ANNOUNCEMENTS SINCE THE DELAY COULD BE CHANGED TO CLOSED

STREETS WHICH WILL NOT BE TRAVELED WHEN BUS SERVICE IS LIMITED
