Weather Closures and Delays
❄️ How Decisions Are Made for School Delays or Closures
The Cache County School District (CCSD) follows clear guidelines and procedures for deciding on a late start, early release, or full school closure.
Monitoring Weather and Road Conditions
A team at the CCSD Transportation Department—which serves both Cache County and Logan School Districts—constantly watches the weather.
This team uses information from the National Weather Service and local road officials. They look closely at many factors, including:
-
Snow amounts
-
Temperature
-
Visibility (how far you can see)
-
Wind
-
Current road conditions
They monitor these factors both before and during bad weather.
The Final Decision
Based on their observations, the Transportation team makes a recommendation to the Superintendent’s Office to implement a schedule change (late start, early out, or closure) or to proceed with normal transportation.
The Superintendent and other district leaders make the final decision after looking at all the facts and recommendations. The top priority in this decision is always the safety and well-being of students and staff traveling to and from school.
Weather Disclaimer
While weather conditions can remain unpredictable and change rapidly, the school district diligently monitors the situation and strives to make the safest possible decision for all students and staff.
How Families Are Notified
If the school day schedule changes, the CCSD Office of Communication will send a message to parents and guardians using phone, text, and email.
-
You can set how you receive these messages in PowerSchool.
-
Important: If you have chosen to opt out of messages in PowerSchool, you will not receive weather notifications.
-
Announcements will also be posted on all CCSD websites and social media platforms.
-
Closures and delays will be announced on the local radio station, KVNU.
No notification means that schools are running on a regular schedule. You will only be notified if there is a delayed start, early release, or closure.
Notification Times
-
Alerts sent the night before (for the next school day) will be sent by 9:00 p.m.
-
Alerts sent the same morning will be sent by 5:30 a.m.
Safety Is Our Priority
Because the Cache County School District covers a large area where weather and road conditions can be very different, decisions are often complex.
We encourage all families and employees to make the best decision for themselves, based on local conditions in their area.
These procedures may be changed if there are extreme or unusual weather conditions.
