Weather Policy

Please email the School Liaison, Nader Sheikhan if you need support with securing warm-weather clothing for your child.

Weather Delay and Cancellation Procedure

When bad weather or other unexpected events make it unsafe for students and staff to come to our school buildings, DPS may have a delayed start or cancel school for the day. The superintendent will make a decision based on information provided by the DPS Transportation team, local transportation agencies, and the weather bureau. You’ll find more details about what to expect here.

How DPS Will Inform You of Weather Delays and/or Cancellations
