What is a two-hour delay?
- A two-hour delay allows additional time for plowing/sanding and reviewing conditions.
- Morning bus pick-up times are two hours later than usual.
- School begins two hours later than the regular start time. • Schools dismiss at the normal time, unless stated otherwise. • PreK morning session may be cancelled (please check with your school).
How will you be notified?
Delay or closure announcements will be posted on:
- KIBSD Facebook page.
- SchoolMessenger notifications to families.
- Local radio station.
We strive to notify families as soon as possible in the event of a delay or closure. If you have not been notified, please assume classes are following a normal schedule. Please contact your school with questions.
What can you do?
- Confirm that your contact information and emergency contact information is up to date in PowerSchool.
- Have a backup plan for childcare.
- Know your bus pick-up time; if there is a two-hour delay, it will shift accordingly.
- Dress your children for winter weather.
Is there anything else you should know?
If schools remain open, and parents/guardians feel the conditions are unsafe, you may keep your student at home. Absences or late arrivals will be excused. Please notify your school. Due to state requirements, any full-day closures will be made up later in the year.
