Emergency Closing
Certain weather conditions may necessitate closing the school or having a delayed opening of one or two hours. The decision to close the schools is made with the safety of the students in mind.
KCSD employs a communications system for the purposes of community outreach and emergency notification. In the event of a snow day or late opening, parents are notified via this system. A phone message and email can be expected.
In order for the system to work properly, it is imperative that accurate contact information be provided. If phone numbers change during the school year, the office must be notified and updated in the Skyward Student Access Portal.
In addition, school closing and late opening information can also be obtained from social media and the kcsd.org website
Parents are strongly urged to discuss with their children their plan for early/emergency dismissals.
When faced with severe weather, KCSD Administration may choose to announce an early dismissal, delayed opening, or district closure to ensure the safety of our community. Announcements will be made by:
- website pop up
- social media (facebook)
- text message
- phone call
To ensure you receive these communications, please make sure your contact information is updated at the Skyward Family Access Portal and that you have opted in to text messaging.
