Severe Weather / Emergency Conditions 


School bus schedules or routes are changed only during the most severe weather or emergency conditions.  If it is necessary to run limited school bus schedules, or close schools for any reason, information will be broadcast on local radio and television stations. District buses are equipped with chains, and the drivers have been trained to drive on slippery roads. 
 
In case of emergency school closure:

• Students who ride the bus will remain at school until transportation is available.
• Students who walk or drive to school will be sent home.
• In either case, if no one is at home during school hours, it is the parents’ responsibility to make the student aware of an alternate place to go in an emergency.

REMINDERS: 
 
Between 4:30 a.m. and 7:00 a.m., area radio and television stations will announce any school cancellations or delays of starting times.

If no announcements about West Valley schools are broadcast from the radio and television stations, schools are open!

If schools are closed for emergency reasons for one day, they will be open the following day unless information to the contrary is announced by radio or television.

Please do not call school officials or radio stations about school closures.  Listen to your radio or television.
