Coldwater Families:
We have been very fortunate this year with weather and the ability to keep schools open for our students. As conditions could change, I would like to take this opportunity to share with you some of the considerations that go into the decision to close schools for a day.
When considering a closure, we monitor weather forecasts, road conditions, and special alerts/updates from the National Weather Service. We also collaborate with other districts in the county and talk with area superintendents, maintenance, and transportation teams to assess the safety of travel and the condition of our facilities.
The safety of our students and staff is always our top priority. To determine if a closure is necessary, we closely monitor:
Weather Conditions: Heavy snow, ice, or freezing rain that may create hazardous travel conditions.
Road Conditions: Reports from transportation officials and local authorities regarding road safety for buses and personal vehicles.
Wind Chill: Extreme cold, particularly wind chill temperatures below -20°F, which may pose a danger to students waiting at bus stops or walking to school.
We strive to make decisions as early as possible and will communicate closures through local media, emails, social media, and our district app. Please ensure your contact information is up to date in our system.
Thank you for your understanding and support as we work to ensure everyone’s safety.
Due to inclement weather and icy roads, all athletic events have been cancelled for today, January 14.

It's school bus safety week! Keep these tips in mind to ensure a safe ride for our students:
Arrive Early: Get to the bus stop at least five minutes before the bus arrives.
Stand Back: Stay at least three giant steps (6 feet) away from the curb while waiting.
Board Safely: Wait until the bus stops completely before approaching the door. Use the handrail.
Stay Seated: Keep aisles clear and remain seated while the bus is moving.
Be Visible: Always cross in front of the bus, never behind, and make sure the driver sees you.
Treat a school bus's flashing lights like a traffic signal; red means STOP!
The afterschool program will NOT be open on Tuesday this week due to parent teacher conferences. It will be available on both Monday and Thursday. Please come to Mrs. Simonds's room after school to work on getting your grades up, get homework help, or just have a quiet place to study.
