Weather, bus, and closure info

We will send a message through ParentSquare, Facebook and post information on our website.

When possible we will notify you the night before if we are going to start late or be closed for the day.

Our plan is to have messages to families as close to 6:30 as possible to help you plan your day. Families can assume that if you have not heard from us by 7am that we are on time and all bus routes are running as normal, there is NO need to call the school and check!

In rare circumstances conditions can change after we have notified families. If that happens will will immediately send out an "urgent" message to families through our normal process. Its important that families sign up for our text messages to ensure you get these alerts.

Fir Island and other areas prone to flooding may have modified bus routes if there are restrictions from the county or if there is water over the roadway at or near your student's regular stop.

If we have changes to our bus routes due to flooding we will contact families with alternative locations.

There will be times when the roads and weather create problems for those driving their students to school, getting out of driveways, etc. We want you and your children to be safe. If you feel it's unsafe for you to leave your home and drive your student to school, please use Pick Up Patrol and report your student's absence as "Weather Related" so we can excuse them.

When we have emergency events we have two options:

1. Delayed Start - school will start at 10:30am (including Mondays) - breakfast is NOT served due to our start time.
2. Closed for the day - unsafe roads, weather conditions, power is out, or other emergencies.

Delayed Start

If we have a late start day due to the weather, school will start at 10:30 and the the bus will be at your child's normal stop two hours later than their normal pickup time (except Monday). If the bus route is modified please see the "delayed start bus routes" at the bottom of this newsletter.

What if we have late start on our regular Monday late start days? School will start at 10:30 as described above. Expect the bus to arrive 45 minutes later than your normal late start Monday pick up time.

When Conway Closes for the day, that includes all programs, services, transportation out of district, after school activities and sports.

We are required by state to make up any days we are closed.

We have scheduled POTENTIAL make up days into our calendar as OPTIONS just in case we have to close school. Families can assume that we do not have school on scheduled make-up days as they are just placeholders just in case we have to close school. Families will be notified once the district has made a decision on which day(s) will be used to make-up for a school closure.

In rare instances with a an emergency proclamation by the governor we may be able to have those days waived as long as we meet certain other criteria.
