Listed below is information related to inclement weather. Many elementary students (Fairview, Hillcrest, Lannoye and Sunnyside) are picked up and dropped off by a bus that runs a middle school/high school route first. The second route bus may be running a bit behind schedule on days when the weather causes slower travel. Whenever roads require slow bus travel, please be aware that your children will be arriving home later than the usual time. It may be as much as a half-hour or more later. We ask that you be patient in dealing with this situation. Should you have a need to contact the Transportation Department concerning a late bus they can be reached at 920-822-6040.

Emergency/Weather Related L ate Start / Early Dismissal Schedule EMERGENCY/WEATHER RELATED EARLY DISMISSAL When an early dismissal is called, we will follow the drop-off schedule and dismiss the middle school, high school, Glenbrook and ABVM students and then Fairview, Hillcrest, Lannoye and Sunnyside Elementary school students. Early dismissals require communication to determine where your child should be dropped off. We ask that if you select an emergency drop-off site for your child, you keep it in your neighborhood and on the same bus route. Please notify your building principal, in writing, by December 1 if you wish to select an emergency drop-off site. Please do not call the schools to determine if they will be dismissing early because all telephone lines are needed to notify bus drivers and to contact the radio stations, weather bureau and other agencies. EARLY CHILDHOOD AND 4K (4 Year-Old Kindergarten) 1. When the district is canceled for the day, the early childhood and 4K programs are canceled. 2. The morning session of early childhood and 4K are canceled when there is a late start. 3. The afternoon session of early childhood and 4K are canceled when there is an early dismissal. Thank you for your cooperation in all weather-related circumstances. We appreciate working with you and your children.
