Dear Parent/Guardian:

It is sometimes necessary to close the District #3 schools due to an emergency. Inclement weather is usually the major cause of school closings; however, other emergencies such as power failures, heating problems, or water problems could occur at any time necessitating the closing of one or more schools.

When a determination is made that a school or schools should be closed to protect the health and safety of students, the information will be announced to major radio and television stations.   The following stations will carry emergency closing information:

Please discuss with your child the possibilities which might develop and what is expected when District #3 announces an emergency school closing. You are encouraged to develop a plan with your child should the school closing announcement be made after you have left for work, or if you are unable to be home when your child returns home following an emergency school closing.

District #3 makes every effort to keep all schools open throughout the school year. During inclement weather, when schools are open, a parent/guardian makes the final decision as to their child’s attendance at school should weather conditions be considered too severe for a child to travel to and from school.
