A Message from PLSD
Pickerington Local Schools
Reminder About Weather-Related Delays & Closures
As we prepare for possible inclement weather this Thursday and Friday, we want to remind families and staff of our procedures for school delays and cancellations, known as calamity days.
What is a calamity day?
A calamity day occurs when classes are delayed or canceled due to hazardous conditions such as snow, ice, extreme cold, or other factors impacting safety and transportation. Please be reassured that the superintendent makes the final decision with utmost consideration for safety, with input from transportation and facilities teams.
How will families be notified?
Phone and email alerts: Pre-recorded calls and emails will be sent to the contact information on file in Infinite Campus. Your partnership in this process is crucial, so please ensure your information is up to date.
District website and social media: Updates will be posted on the home page, Facebook, and Instagram.
Local TV and radio stations: Notifications will be shared with major stations, but confirm details on our official website or social media.
Our goal is to notify families of cancellations or delays by 5:30 a.m., whenever possible. For more information on procedures, visit our Calamity & Snow Days FAQ's on the District website.
Stay safe and prepared!
Dr. Chris Briggs
Superintendent/CEO
Pickerington Local Schools
