School Closing Information Student safety is one of our highest priorities. With the winter season upon us, we will make every effort to keep your child safe and minimize lost instruction time. When making the decision to close school for inclement weather, the district administrator receives information from several different sources, including the Langlade County Highway Department, Lamers Bus Company, Town of Elcho, Elcho School Maintenance Director, and Great Lakes Weather Service. The school district is a large geographic area of several hundred square miles and there can be considerable differences in weather conditions throughout the district. We will do our best to make the appropriate decision in a timely manner, and if possible, by 6:00 a.m. If parents have any doubts or concerns about the weather, they can choose to keep their child(ren) home. Stay tuned to the TV/Radio stations listed below regarding school closing. Television Radio WJFW TV-12 WXPR FM 91.7 WSAW TV-7 WOFM FM 94.7 WAOW TV-9 WIFC FM 95.5.

However, they are welcome to attend, but 4K programming will still end at 11:15 a.m. • At the start of school, families completed an “Emergency School Closing Form” to plan ahead for these days. It is very important that you and your child know the plan for emergency school closings. Please update this form if your plan has changed. It is not possible to contact parents of all our children to clarify their plan. .
