Winter weather conditions continue to linger across our district. Although local and county entities have been working since the early hours today to plow roads, there are still many side roads that remain icy and hazardous for travel. As a result, School District 38 will be on a 2-HOUR DELAY FOR THURSDAY, DEC. 4. A 2-hour delay will provide extra time for our staff, students, and families to travel to our schools, and for our facilities team members to prepare parking lots and walkways on our campuses.
As a reminder, on 2-hour delay days, there is no morning preschool and Leading Edge (our before and after school care program) follows the delay schedule.
Our weather decision team will convene again early Thursday morning to review updated reports from our transportation staff and facilities team members who will be assessing current conditions. If we determine that a closure is needed, we will notify all families and staff by 6:30 a.m.
We are grateful for your understanding and support with every weather decision we make. Our first priority is always the safety of students and staff, and we work to balance that with keeping our schools open for learning as much as possible.

The Tri-Lakes Community received a solid blast of winter overnight with measurable snowfall of more than 4” in many parts of our district, with possibly up to 5” more predicted between now and the afternoon according to forecasts. With colder temperatures than what we’ve experienced recently, snow is sticking to the roads. Our transportation team is reporting that many roads in our district haven’t been plowed yet, causing hazardous travel conditions. Additionally, our facilities team has shared it would be difficult to have our campuses prepared in time to open as scheduled. As a result, we are adjusting our weather decision, and D38 will be CLOSED ON WEDNESDAY, DEC. 3.
Remember that during closures Leading Edge (before and after school care) does not operate, administrative offices are closed, and there are no field trips, after-school activities, or athletic activities unless approved by the superintendent.
We appreciate your trust and understanding with every weather decision we make. Our first priority is always the safety of students and staff, and we work to balance that with ensuring our schools are open for learning opportunities as much as possible.
Enjoy your first snow day of the season! We’ll be recording it soon with our new Snow Day Tracker on the district website. Stay safe and warm, and we look forward to seeing everyone in our schools on Thursday.

Our region received its first taste of winter weather over the weekend, and it looks like more is coming our way. Local forecasts indicate snow beginning around 10:00 p.m. this evening with additional snowfall expected on Wednesday, and high temperatures only in the 20s. Based on this information, D38 will be on a 2-HOUR DELAY FOR WEDNESDAY, DEC. 3. The delay will provide extra time in the morning to reevaluate conditions and determine if we need to shift to a closure.
As a reminder, on 2-hour delay days, there is no morning preschool and Leading Edge (our before and after school care program) follows the delay schedule.
Our weather decision team will meet in the early morning hours to review updated forecasts and reports from our transportation staff who will be driving roads across the district. Our facilities team will also update us on conditions at our campuses. If we determine that a closure is needed, we will notify all families and staff by 6:30 a.m.
We know many of you are eagerly awaiting our first snow day of the season. Our new Snow Day Tracker on the district website will let you track our usage of snow days and delays this winter, and the page also outlines the factors we consider when making our weather decisions.

Our region experienced several inches of snow and freezing temperatures on Monday, leading to icy conditions on our roads this evening. As a result, School District 38 will be on a 2-HOUR DELAY for Tuesday, Dec. 10. A 2-hour delay will provide some extra time for ice on roads to improve, and for our facilities team members to prepare our parking lots and campus entryways.
As a reminder, on 2-hour delay days, there is no morning preschool and Leading Edge (our before and after school-care program) follows the delay schedule.
Our first priority is always the safety of students and staff across the district. We make our weather call decisions by thoroughly evaluating roads and forecasts for the entire district, and when possible, we strive to inform our families about any weather impacts as soon as possible.
