CANCELLATION, DELAYED OPENING, EARLY DISMISSAL PROCEDURES

In the event of stormy weather, school cancellations and delayed openings will be announced on the radio and TV as early as possible. In order to help you prepare for morning childcare and/or supervision, ALL DELAYED OPENINGS WILL BE TWO (2) HOURS.
When there is a 2-hour delay, there is no breakfast program and no morning preschool.
Our automated telephone calling system will contact you if there is a delay, cancellation or early dismissal. Please be sure that schools have your correct telephone number on file.

After School Program at KCS and KMS: On days when schools are closed for students, BASP will open at 8:30 at KMS. If the entire District is closed (no office staff) there is no BASP program. If there is an early dismissal, BASP is open until 6:00 unless otherwise directed by the Superintendent.
SCORE Program: On days when schools are closed for students, SCORE will open at 7:00 a.m.
If the entire District is closed (no office staff) there is no SCORE Program. If there is an early dismissal, SCORE is open until 6:00 p.m. unless otherwise directed by the Superintendent.
Parents of elementary and intermediate students should make arrangements to receive students at home if there is an early dismissal. Either arrange to be home early for your child’s arrival, or arrange for a relative or neighbor to provide supervision. Please inform your child of your plans in the case of an early dismissal. Principals and staff will not be able to call individual parents to confirm or arrange these plans.
