Winter Weather Procedures:
Winter break is here. As colder weather approaches, we want to ensure your child’s safety during their school commute after the winter break. In the event of severe weather conditions like snow or ice, we may need to delay the start of school or close schools entirely.
When this happens, we will share the information with our community as early in the morning as possible. To ensure you receive communication,
- Update your contact information: Please ensure your current email address and phone number are on file with your child’s school.
- Monitor district and school communications: We will share important information and updates on ParentSquare, our social media platforms (Facebook and Instagram), and the DDSD website.
