The District's automated emergency phone call system will broadcast an emergency school closing, as well. The primary number provided at student registration will be contacted by the emergency notification system. If you need to update that phone number, please contact your child's school office.

Please remember that should we experience inclement weather, you, as parents, always have the right to keep your child(ren) at home. If for weather-related reasons, you feel that your child's safety would be in jeopardy, you simply need to call the school and notify the secretary of the absence. The absence will be considered acceptable and your child(ren) will be allowed to make up their work. We appreciate the caution and good judgment District 2 parents show when exercising authority in this decision.
