The Richmond School District is committed to ensuring the safety of students and staff during severe weather conditions.
The district will assess weather conditions early in the morning and will aim to determine any school closures or delayed openings by 6:30 a.m. The decision will be based on factors such as road conditions, snowfall accumulation, and overall safety risks.
Updates will be delivered using social media and school and district websites:
- Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RichmondSD38/
- Twitter: https://twitter.com/RichmondSD38
Please note that only school closures or delayed openings will be announced. If schools are open, no announcement will typically be made. However, in extreme circumstances or if additional clarity is needed, the district will confirm that schools are open.
Student Safety and Transportation
Parents/guardians are responsible for ensuring their child’s safe travel to and from school. If schools are open, and you wish to keep your child home due to weather conditions, you may do so. Please let your school know of this decision.
School buses may experience delays or route adjustments due to road conditions. If bus service is affected, updates will be provided by 6:30 a.m. on the district website and social media.
During the School Day
If snowfall begins while school is in session, schools will remain OPEN until the regular dismissal time. However, in extreme circumstances, early dismissal may be necessary. If this occurs, parents will be notified by their school.
