Snowy weather with bus covered in snow

When cold weather arrives in Minnesota, we want to ensure you have the information you need about weather emergency communications related to closings, delays, and early dismissals.

Click here to read the District email sent to families, staff, and students with our winter weather communications information.

Please know decisions to close school are taken very seriously, and we use closings, delays, and early dismissals only when absolutely necessary.

There are three types of weather-related messages you may see during emergency weather.

Delay: The school start will be delayed in order to wait for snow removal and/or expected warmer weather.

e-Learning: Students learn at home when emergency weather is not safe for students and staff to be in person. Families and students receive school-level instructions.

Early Release: Secondary students are released early in order to give the buses an early start on the routes and helps get students home safely and on schedule during winter weather.
