In preparation for snow day calls, please remember that you are responsible for keeping your first and second notification phone numbers up to date in Skyward, so now would be a great time to double check your information in your Skyward account (under the Skylert tab at the left)! Please contact your building secretary if you need assistance making any changes.

Winter Weather Procedure for USD 458:
Living in Kansas, we know that we must deal with winter weather of all varieties. Please know that the District is always focused on the safety of our students and staff, and will make a judgment call based on the severity of the situation.

School will not be dismissed because of weather conditions that arise during the school day, if it is feasible for students and staff to remain safely at school. If a situation should arise and an early dismissal is needed, the Skylert phone notification system will be activated.

In the event winter weather makes for potential hazardous driving early in the morning, the District has implemented a two hour delayed start procedure. In hard to reach areas, Easton Bus drivers will communicate specific areas for snow route pickup. Schools will finish the day at their regular time, and after school bus routes will follow their normal afternoon schedules. After school activities will be determined by the school with notification to parents following.

If adverse weather conditions exist before school begins, and we decide to cancel school, or in the event of a two hour delay, notifications will be placed on our District home page www.usd458.org on the Basehor-Linwood USD 458 official Facebook page (@BasehorLinwoodUSD458) and Instagram account (@usd458).
