School is closed if it is determined that conditions are hazardous. Once the school is open, we do not close early for weather conditions, but parents may pick up their children early if they wish. When there is a high probability of improved weather conditions later in the day, we will have a delayed opening. This is also announced on the GDS website, via email, and the main phone lines at each campus.
Parents should make sure that all families involved in their carpools are notified of schedule changes.
