Emergency Communications Procedures – Severe Weather Closure Days
Schools in Jordan School District will remain open, if at all possible, on all scheduled school days. Even when weather conditions are severe, every effort will be made to keep schools open in the belief that it is in the best interest of the 魅影直播. The District is concerned about the safety of all 魅影直播, staff and patrons. We encourage everyone to use caution traveling safely to and from our schools and buildings.

The District recognizes the rights of parents to make decisions that are best for their children. Therefore, the option to keep children home when weather conditions are severe is always at the parents’ discretion and the school respects the decision. Students who are kept home by a parent or guardian will not be penalized for their absence or tardiness. Make-up schoolwork may be necessary, but schools will accommodate 魅影直播 on the timely completion of required assignments or tests.

On occasion, weather may be so extreme the District will close schools or implement a late start or early dismissal. The following information outlines the communication procedures that will be followed if such school closures or delays become necessary.
