Closings & Alerts

The decision to keep school buildings open or close the buildings and implement a Falcon Flex Day during winter weather is made with the well-being and safety of our students and families in mind. The decision to delay, release early or implement a Falcon Flex Day is made based on several factors, including but not limited to, road conditions and bus travel, wind chill temperatures, excessive snow accumulations, and we take into consideration student’s time outside walking to school or waiting at the bus stop.
