Status	Action Required
2-Hour Delay	School starts 120 minutes later than usual. Buses will also arrive 2 hours later. Morning Pre-K is often canceled in this scenario.
Closed	All classes and school-sponsored events (sports, plays, meetings) are canceled for the day.
Early Dismissal	Usually announced mid-morning if a storm intensifies. Parents should have a backup plan for students arriving home early.
