It is time once again to prepare for inclement weather conditions.  In the months to come we may be forced to delay or close school, or even send students home early because of threatening weather conditions.

Please help us keep students safe by being aware of changing weather conditions throughout the winter. We will send a message via SchoolReach regarding any school closures, school delays, and early closures.  We will also post a message as soon as possible on our website, www.susd.k12.or.us and www.flashalert.net as well as local radio and television stations:

SCHOOL CLOSURE:   Decisions about early morning delays and school closures will be made by 6:00 A.M. each day.  The information will be forwarded to the radio and TV stations and will be on our website and phone messages.  Please be aware we have no control over when the stations begin posting or announcing our information.

LIMITED BUS SCHEDULE:   There may be times that weather conditions allow us to run a limited bus schedule.  When possible, we will run a limited schedule rather than close school (inclement weather bus route posted on website). 

EARLY CLOSURE:   In the case we are forced to close school early because of the road conditions, we will inform you through the media as listed above.  The same limited bus schedule (posted on website) will be followed if necessary when taking students home during an early closure situation.  Please make advance arrangements for the care and supervision of your child.  Early closures require us to contact many people in a very short amount of time.  It is necessary that you keep the school updated on any changes in your emergency contact information.  Thank you for helping us keep our students safe.

Sincerely,

Steve Kelley
Superintendent
