TK Closing Information

Adverse weather conditions and other emergency situations may make it necessary to cancel school, delay the beginning of school, or send students home early. Our Transportation Department is out early in the morning to check road conditions. They are in contact with neighboring school districts and the superintendent. The final decision is made by the superintendent.

 

Whenever it is necessary to delay or close school, notice will be communicated through TV channels 3, 8, 13, 17 and 41, radio stations WOOD and WBCH, and the district website.

 

You may also receive text or email alerts from local TV stations by registering at any one of these links:  WOOD-8, WWMT-3, WZZM-13, or FOX 17.

 

In the event of a two-hour delay:

• There will be no a.m. preschool or a.m. ECSE.
