Parents should expect to receive automated phone calls, and check official social media pages and websites for up-to-date information on closures and delays

As winter weather looms, schools across Parke and Vermillion Counties are gearing up to ensure the safety of students and staff. Unpredictable conditions like snow, ice, and freezing temperatures can lead to school delays or closures, and districts are taking measures to keep families informed.

To stay ahead of the weather, schools in the area use a variety of methods to notify parents and students about changes to the school schedule:

• Automated phone calls directly to families.

• Social media updates on official district accounts.

• School webpages with the latest announcements.

While school officials monitor weather conditions closely, parents and guardians also play a vital role by staying prepared and informed. Districts advise checking local forecasts and school updates regularly during winter months to avoid last-minute surprise

Parents and students are encouraged to keep their contact information updated in their school’s communication system, to ensure they get informed as quickly as possible. By working together, schools and families can make navigating winter’s challenges a little easier for everyone.
