Common Siouxland Schedule Changes

In the Midwest, decisions are often made based on a combination of snowfall and the Wind Chill Index.

Status	Details
2-Hour Delay	School starts two hours late; no morning preschool or breakfast program.
Closed / Snow Day	All classes and school activities are canceled.
Early Dismissal	Used when weather worsens during the day; students are sent home early to beat the storm.

How Superintendents Decide

Superintendents in the Siouxland region typically begin driving roads between 3:30 AM and 4:30 AM. They coordinate with the KTIV First Alert Weather team to determine if conditions—such as blowing snow or temperatures reaching -20°F—make it unsafe for children to wait at bus stops.
