It is always a good reminder for families regarding calamity days and the procedures if school is delayed or canceled. You can find the information on the district website. Key points are as follows:

Phone and email alerts

• Pickerington Schools will announce delayed starts and calamity days through pre-recorded telephone calls to current parent/guardians' telephone numbers on file with the district.
• The District also sends email messages about any delayed start or calamity day via this website.
• It is important to keep student contact information and contact preferences current by logging into the Infinite Campus Parent Portal website and updating your contact information.

Hazardous weather conditions

• Information on road conditions from transportation staff, law enforcement and road crews. The district gives careful consideration to the most dangerous roads in the district. They can be treacherous, even if your street looks clear.
• Accumulated snow and ice.
• Temperature and wind chill.
• Impact on transportation services. School bus diesel fuel begins to gel at temperatures of zero degrees or below.
• Weather predictions (including those from a weather alert service).
• Building conditions (e.g., electricity, heat, water)
• Staff shortage/illness in a specific building(s) or districtwide
• Transportation staff shortage: Transportation modifications will be announced along with the other details of each closure/delay.
