INCLEMENT WEATHER CLOSING PROTOCOL

Weather can change quickly in the Chippewa Valley. When inclement weather strikes, there are three options for adjusting our days:

  • Cancellation: If the weather is too severe, school and other activities may be canceled altogether.

  • Remote Learning Day: If a high chance of inclement weather is predicted well in advance and there is high confidence from the National Weather Service (NWS) that the prediction will hold true, the District may call for a Remote Learning Day. 

  • Two-hour delay: If the weather is bad but not severe enough to cancel school for the day, classes may be delayed by two hours.

  • Early release: If the weather worsens during the school day, school may be dismissed early.

Cancellation -- If we cancel school due to inclement weather, we will make the decision by 6:00 AM. All schools, Head Start, Early Childhood, 4K Cardinal programs, after-school programs, and public use of buildings will be closed.

Remote Learning Day -- Students will complete assignments and activities from home when the school buildings are closed. Teachers will be available remotely during regular school day hours to answer student questions. Find the 4K-12 Remote Learning Guidelines HERE.

Two Hour Delay --  If we delay school due to inclement weather, the school day will start two hours later than normal. Buses will also run two hours behind schedule. Breakfast will not be served, but lunch will be served near normal time. 4K Cardinal, Early Childhood, and Head Start will be canceled for the day. After-school programs and public use of buildings may still occur. If the delay is later changed to a cancellation, the decision will be made by 8:00 AM.

Early Release -- If we dismiss school early due to inclement weather, the decision will be made by 10:00 AM. Elementary schools will dismiss at 12:00 PM, and secondary schools will dismiss at 1:00 PM. Lunch will be served at the normal time. Afternoon 4K Cardinal, Head Start, and Early Childhood are canceled. After-school programming and public use of buildings are canceled.


When there is inclement weather in the Chippewa Valley, we may have to change the school schedule. We will let you know by 6 AM if we are canceling school or starting school two hours late; by 10 AM for letting students out early. We will tell you via radio, TV, our website, social media, and by email or text message. We want to keep our students safe, so we may have to make last-minute changes. We will try to make the best decision we can based upon the weather information available to us.
