Dear Bulldog Families and Staff,
As snow is on the ground and the temperatures will continue to remain cold during these winter months, I wanted to send a message relating to potential weather-related school building closures. While I consider closing our school
buildings to be an exception and place a strong emphasis on keeping our schools open, my priority is keeping our students and staff safe. It is important that you know that the weather prediction itself is not the only determinant.
There are other factors that are carefully analyzed when deciding to keep the buildings open or to close.
To highlight some:
In a situation of pending inclement weather, I will be in constant communication with our Transportation Director, bus drivers, surrounding community school administrators, law enforcement and the Missouri Department of
Transportation.
While it is good to collaborate, I will ultimately make the decision with the focus on our own student and staff safety.
Because our District has an approved remote learning plan on file with the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, students, teachers, and staff can remote teach and remote learn if it is declared a day that the buildings will be closed. This will be further communicated in the event school buildings require closure for adverse weather conditions.
Notification of a Closure: School building closure decisions will normally be made the evening prior, if possible. But the latest, by 5:30AM, the day of. The closure of school buildings also means that all extracurricular activities will be canceled. Notification to parents/guardians of students, and staff will be communicated as follows:
Parents/guardians must remember to update their contact information during registration each year, and throughout the year if you change any of your contact information. You can update your contact and notification preferences by
contacting our building secretaries.
Stay well, and please be safe in all conditions.
Sincerely,
Dr. Wiggans

Best Educational Interest Considerations
District staff should minimally consider the following when deciding whether a virtual course is in the best educational interest of a student but may consider other factors not listed.
District Course Availability
1. If the course is offered onsite by the district, are there extenuating circumstances that make it difficult or impossible for the student to take the onsite course offered by the district?
2. If the course is offered onsite by the district and the student is able to take that course, what are the reasons the student wants to take the virtual course?
