With Winter Upon Us, Be Prepared if School Closes!

Posted on: Nov 20, 2015

School may be closed for the day, started late or dismissed early due to weather conditions, emergencies, utility outages or other conditions that threaten the health and/or safety of our students and staff. Families will be notified by the school district's instant parent contact telephone system of emergency school closings. The following news media outlets will also be notified: WCCO 4 TV, WCCO Radio, KSTP 5 TV, KMSP 9 TV and KARE 11 TV. Families are encouraged to have a plan in place for their students when emergency closings, late starts or early dismissals occur. Also, watch for calendar changes, including make-up days due to school closings in school publications, Skylert parent emails and phone calls, district website and Facebook. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO RECEIVE A TEXT MESSAGE, YOU MUST SET THIS OPTION UP IN YOUR FAMILY ACCESS ACCOUNT. LOG INTO YOUR ACCOUNT AND ON THE LEFT, CLICK ON SKYLERT.  YOU CAN LIST YOUR PHONE NUMBER UNDER "TEXT MESSAGE NUMBERS" AND CHECK THE CATEGORIES IN WHICH YOU WANT THIS OPTION APPLIED. THEN CLICK "SAVE".
