Las demoras o cancelaciones se publican primero en nuestra línea de cierre en 362-1898 (con el objetivo de publicar antes de las 5:30 a.m.). La notificación se publica luego a las estaciones de televisión locales. Los retrasos suelen ser de (2) dos horas, aunque podría haber retrasos de solo (1) una hora. Con las demoras, se espera que el personal se reporte de acuerdo el número de horas de retraso a su jornada de trabajo regular. Por ende, si existiera un retraso de una hora, se reportará a su jornada de trabajo una hora más tarde, y no habrá cambios en su hora de salida.

Reminders about Accessing School Delay and Cancellation Information
Delays or cancellations are posted first on our closing line at 362-1898 (with a goal of posting by 5:30 a.m.). Notification is made next to the local television stations. Delays are typically two-hours, although a one-hour delay can be called. With delays, students are expected to report the appropriate number of hours later than the regular school day and should plan to be at bus stops based on those times, as well.
