As the threat of snowy and icy weather approaches, parents and students should listen to local radio and television stations to learn of school closures due to bad weather. These include KBZY radio, Statesman Journal website, all Portland TV stations.

OR - you can bookmark this web address, which will list all closure and delay information for our district: http://www.newsbridge.net/Salem-Keizer_Sch_Dist/

Here's how the closure and delay process works:

By 5:15 a.m., District officials make the decision to close or delay the start of all or selected schools. Key staff members and news media are then notified immediately.

If school is delayed by two hours, morning kindergarten will be canceled. In the case of early dismissal due to weather conditions, each school has an emergency plan so parents, please make sure we have current contact information for you.

PLEASE NOTE that the media will mention the District only if there is a delay or closure. If you do not hear any information, it’s safe to assume that our schools are open or have resumed their regular schedules.
