Bus riders are loading now and will depart shortly.
Bus routes are being delayed. Another post will be sent when buses are being sent. Students are in the building right now.
Dear USD 420 Families ,
Due to the potential for severe storms forecasted for our area this afternoon, we are prioritizing the safety of our students and staff with the following plan:
* **Dismissal: The district WILL NOT be dismissing early today.
* **Bus Routes:** If storms are present during dismissal, we will **delay the start of afternoon bus routes**.
* **Shelter-in-Place:** Students and staff will remain at school and shelter-in-place in the **Middle School Gym Storm Shelter** until the weather has safely passed. Buses will begin their routes as soon as it is clear to do so.
* **Athletics:** High School baseball and softball games have been postponed**. Additionally, all after-school practices for today are **cancelled**.
Parents/Guardians of bus riders can pick up their child after school if they so choose to do. We would appreciate if you let your child's building office know if you plan to pick up your child so we can communicate that were picked up to the bus drivers.
We will continue to monitor the weather closely and provide updates as needed. Thank you for your patience and for helping us keep our school community safe.
Stay safe,
Ted Hessong
Superintendent
