WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
guidance during inclement weather or related emergencies
Determining Road Conditions
Administrators monitor weather forecasts, temperatures and road conditions hourly during adverse weather to determine if road conditions indicate safe traveling and transportation of students to school. Based on a variety of factors, the Superintendent and Transportation Supervisor may opt for a 2-hour late start or to cancel school for the day.
Communications
VSD communicates using phone calls, text messages, email messages, school Facebook posts, notices on the VSD website and Parent App, and through local news stations.
We encourage families to seek information and stay tuned during bad weather. Be aware that neighboring district school schedules may affect your student's bus connections and times.
School Closures
VSD intends to communicate school closures by 6:30 a.m.; however, rapidly worsening weather and road conditions may prompt a school closure announcement anytime between 6:30-8:30 a.m. School closure days are made up and rescheduled later in the school year.
NOTE: In all 2-hour delays or school closures, the VELC Director will notify families whether childcare services are open, open late, or closed for the day.
