School Late Start, Early Out and Cancellation Procedures for Inclement Weather
The decision by the Cache County School District (CCSD) to issue a Late Start, Early Out or Cancellation for its schools follows set procedures and guidelines. Once a decision is made on a school Late Start, Early Out or Cancellation, the Superintendent’s Office contacts the district’s Public Information Office (PIO), which communicates with parents and staff. The PIO utilizes an emergency alert system which sends phone, text, and email alerts to students, parents, and staff. Announcements are posted on the CCSD website, as well as the district’s official Facebook page. Media outlets are also informed.
Cache County School District covers a large geographic area in which weather and road conditions may vary. Parents have the choice to make decisions based on local circumstances and conditions. The option to keep children home during severe weather conditions is always at their parent’s discretion, and school staff will respect that decision. Students who are kept home by a parent or guardian will not be penalized for their absence or tardiness. Make-up work may be necessary, but school staff will accommodate students on timely completion of assignments or tests.
CCSD Late Start, Early Out and Cancellation Schedules
In a Late Start, morning bus stop and school start times are delayed by exactly 2 hours. Schools release at the usual hour. During a late start, morning kindergarten and preschool will likely be canceled.
