Late Start and Early Dismissal
The district will consider opening schools with a late start or calling for an early dismissal depending on weather conditions. (See chart with times below.) A late start would keep students off the street during the busy morning rush hour if roads are expected to be clear within a few hours; early dismissal would allow students to get home safely before bad weather moves into the area. Quick breakfasts would be available when school doors open before classes begin. Students should arrive no earlier than 15 minutes before the start of school. (This doesn’t include Ambrose Preschool.)
All schools would close at their regular times and there would be no Adventure Club.
Below are late-start times for schools.
| School Start Time | Staff Arrival Time | Early Dismissal | |
| Avery, Bristol, Clark, Edgar Road, Givens, Hudson | 9:05am | 8:35am | 11:45am |
| Ambrose Family Ctr. Preschool | 9:30am (full & half day) | 9:00am | 12:15pm (full day) |
| Hixson Middle School | 9:40am | 9:10am | 12:30pm |
| WGHS | 9:40am | 9:10am | 12:30pm |
Late Start Bus Times
With a late start, bus schedules will run one hour and 15 minutes later than the regularly scheduled time.
