School Closures, Late Starts, and Early Releases
Notification: School may be canceled or delayed when the safety of students is threatened by severe weather or other circumstances. When possible, the Superintendent makes decisions before 5 a.m. and no later than 5:30 a.m. and notifies parents via phone calls, emails, www.rwps.org, and the district’s Facebook page. A brief text message alerting people to the email also may be sent; message frequency varies and standard message and data rates may apply. (Reply STOP to cancel text notifications.) The district also will post closures, delays, or early releases on WCCO Channel 4, KSTP Channel 5, KMSP Channel 9 and KARE Channel 11.
Individual Circumstances: It is difficult to anticipate weather conditions in advance, and conditions may differ in different parts of the District. Do not send your child to school if it is unsafe. Call your school’s attendance line to indicate your child is unable to attend due to severe weather or poor road conditions.
Late Starts: Generally, if school starts late due to poor weather or other emergency, the School District announces a two-hour late start. In that case, estimated bus pick-up times, entrance bells, and starting times for school will be two hours later than usual.
Early Releases: If there is a potentially dangerous storm arriving during the school day, school may be released early. It is important for all students to know what to do if school closes early. Please review procedures with your child and update your child’s emergency contact card with contact information.
For E-Learning Days, grade level packets of activities were provided to you during conferences for your students to complete within five days of the e-learning day. Please call the office if your child needs an additional copy.
The district 2024-2025 district calendar allows for up to five E-learning days and two no-school or “snow” days.
