What happens when the schools are closed?
There is no school or transportation. Closure information will ordinarily be broadcast by 6 a.m. The information will also be posted on the District’s homepage and shared through FlashAlert.
Are there still school activities when the schools are closed?
No, all trips, activities, and practices are canceled. On non-school days, contact building administration, your coach, or your advisor to see if activities are still running.
Do schedules run the same the first school day after a closure?
Yes. For West Albany High School, block schedule continues as normal. The school closure does not change the schedule.
What happens to buses if there is a two hour delayed start?
Delayed start information will ordinarily be broadcast by 6 a.m. The buses run two hours later, at the same locations. The buses are equipped to handle most weather. If a bus cannot make its pick-up destination, the affected houses will be contacted by district transportation.
Is there still school lunch during a delayed start?
Yes, all lunches will be served as close to their normal schedule as possible.
Is there still breakfast?
In general, if a school’s normal start time is 8:30 a.m. or later, there will be no breakfast served, because lunch will be scheduled soon after classes start for that day. Grab-and-go breakfasts will be made available at select locations with earlier starts. Contact your school with any questions concerning breakfast availability.
Are there school activities when there’s a delayed start?
Morning activities are canceled; afternoon activities will run normally.
For partial-day preschool programs:
-
Any program that starts or ends before noon will be canceled.
-
Any student that would be in school less than two hours will not be transported (e.g. they would arrive at school at 12:30 p.m. and go home at 1:45).
