In case of severe weather conditions causing school to be closed or dismissed early, the notice will be announced on the following stations: B95/Z-100, WAXX, WAYY, WIAL, WECL, WEAQ, WWIB-WOGO, WJMC-WAQE, WKFX, KSTP TV 5, WCCO TV 4, KARE TV 11, FOX TV 9, WEAU TV 13, WQOW TV 18.
The roads are traveled each morning there is questionable weather. The conditions can vary a great deal from one end of our district to the other and from 5:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. Much thought is put into the decision of the operation for the day, however; the final decision is based on the safety of all the students throughout the district.
