As the weather continues to get colder and we get into inclement weather season, we wanted to share our weather guidelines for potentially closing schools.
D64 does not currently have an eLearning option, so if we need to close due to weather, schools would be closed, and it would be a non-student attendance day. We will adjust the calendar accordingly if we need to make up days during the school year. While it's never ideal to interrupt learning, we appreciate your understanding and cooperation when we are concerned about student and staff safety at school.
This is also a good time to remind you that in a winter weather situation, we would utilize our text messaging service to communicate a potential school closing. Our text messaging services will not replace any school emails or calls you receive but will be used supplementally to get you important information quickly.
How to receive text messages:
- You must opt-in to receive text messages. To do so, you will need to text “Y” or “Yes” to 67587.
- If you’d like to no longer receive District 64 text messages, you have to send “Stop” to 67587.
If you’ve already signed up for the text alerts in the past, you do not have to do it again.
Transportation During Winter Weather
During winter weather conditions, bus travel may experience slower speeds, resulting in potential delays. We recommend utilizing the “Here Comes the Bus” app as an effective tool to track your child's bus arrival times. Detailed instructions for downloading and using the app are available on our website. It’s always a good idea to download the app now and login before there’s bad weather to make sure you can view the routes when you need it.
