Text Box: Bad Weather Policy / SchoolReach
 
Weather conditions which make it unsafe to transport students or have school, can occur with very little warning.  Our first priority in bad weather situations is the safety of the students.  Mistakes are a possibility when trying to “second guess” Kansas weather.  If we do error in our decisions this school year, it is our hope that we make our mistakes on the side of student safety.
 
The superintendent is primarily responsible for cancelling school or altering the school day.  In inclement weather conditions, Superintendent Stegman will be in contact with neighboring schools before cancelling or altering the school day.  On the days we do not hold school or we dismiss early, we will not have athletic practices, contests, or other activities after dismissal time.
 
If school is to be closed during a regular school day, or if the decision is made to cancel school for the next day, a “SchoolReach” automated message will be sent to all student households that have a current phone number with USD 108.  The phone number used is the one provided by patrons to school building offices during enrollment or subsequent requests by offices for such phone numbers.  The SchoolReach message will state what is happening, why, and when.  In case of early dismissal or cancellation, the following radio and television stations will also be notified:
