Inclement Weather Days

If school is canceled, District officials will send alerts through the automated calling system, text alerts, the website and social media outlets. Lastly, they will notify all local news stations.

Care programs will remain open on the days the District closes for inclement weather. Hours will be 9 am - 5:30 pm. Parents need to send breakfast, lunch, and snack for their children. Only in rare cases when the weather is severe will the Care Programs close. In this case, programs would alert affected parents through calls, text messages, the website, and social media outlets. SAC students report to Gladden and PAC report to Grace.

The National Weather Service has a website displaying their wind chill chart. This chart shows that the wind chills that are likely to produce frostbite of exposed skin within thirty (30) minutes range from minus eighteen (-18) to minus thirty-three (- 33) degrees.  Students walking to or from school, or waiting for a bus should not need to be out in the cold longer than thirty (30) minutes.  Therefore, if the wind chill is likely to be at minus 18 degrees (-18) or colder during the time period when students would be going to school, or home from school, we will close schools.

If you want to visit the National Weather Service website, you can find a wealth of weather information. For local information point and click on the map where Kansas City is located (Northwest Missouri).  You can navigate through the “Warnings and Forecasts” windows to see what is predicted for temperatures, snow amounts, wind force, and other factors.

On these days, attendance will be counted by tracking assignment submissions on the next school day or class period (for 7-12th).

Teachers will be available during your child's normal hours.

This is not a set schedule of hour-by-hour learning; students will be given tasks and assignments to complete throughout the day and on their own time.

BMS/BHS

Teachers will post their AMI list of daily activities in Canvas, and students work at their own pace. Students are also advised to catch up on any past assignments.

K-6

Teachers will have had students take a screenshot of the activities the day before, send home a device (for the schools that are not currently doing so), and/or will send parents a list of the activities in Seesaw and/or Google Classroom. Students will work at their own pace.

PreK

Teachers and staff will send parents a list of activities in Seesaw.

Since we participate in the 100 Million Project from T-Mobile, our district can issue hotspots to families who need internet access. Hotspots do have limitations on bandwidth, therefore, there will be no Zoom meetings or lengthy videos on AMI days.  

Parents can call or email their child's school office to request a hotspot. You are encouraged to do this as soon as possible before winter weather arrives. Once it is prepared in the district technology department, the school office staff will notify the family they can pick up the hotspot during school hours.

CCC follows Harrisonville Schools’ schedules. If they cancel, CCC will be canceled as well. If CCC is open and Belton is closed, we will communicate with CCC families if we’re able to provide bus services or not.

 Yes, students who are enrolled in Launch would still be expected to participate and complete all classwork.

No, if the district has an AMI day of learning at home, Night CDC classes will not take place.

If the weather permits for SAC to be open, students are expected to come with their devices. They will need time to work on their assigned activities. Hours of operation will mirror current snow day guidelines.

If the weather permits for PAC to be open, care will be provided. Hours of operation will mirror current snow day guidelines.
