Delays & Early Dismissal Information by School

 

Select your school below to see specific details:

  • Hurlbutt Delayed Openings

    Weston Public Schools typically have a one, two, or three-hour delayed opening (due to weather, staff development, etc.). Children cannot arrive more than 15 minutes prior to the delayed start time because there will be no supervision until then.

    Hurlbutt Early Dismissal

    If individual students have to leave school before the end of the day, the parent/guardian must update School Dismissal Manager. Parents/guardians must come to the front door to sign their children out. Parents/guardians may not go to the classroom.

    Planned early dismissal days are noted on the district calendar. For this school year, the dismissal time for early dismissals listed on the school calendar (for staff development, conferences, etc.) is 12:35 p.m. Any unplanned dismissals (due to weather, etc.) are typically one, two, or three-hour early dismissals.

    The decision to call an early dismissal due to weather is made with enough advance notice to mobilize the buses for all Weston schools. In the event of an early dismissal, you need to know the following information:

    • We will honor Dismissal Manager.
    • Children will go home on their regular buses unless otherwise stated on dismissal manager for that day that tells us they have a change in plans.
    • All after-school activities are canceled.
    • The building is closed to all after-school programs.
    • Children who normally go to a day-care center are sent there.

    If bad weather is a possibility, parents/guardians should send their children to school with a note telling the teacher where the child(ren) should go if school is dismissed early.

    It is rare that school is dismissed early without prior notification. Announcements will be made on several radio and television stations, our school information line and website will be updated, and a SwiftK12 alert will be sent prior to sending the children home. If school is closed, dismissed early, or delayed for any reason, you can find out by:

    • Subscribing to SwiftK12 alerts
    • Visiting the district’s website: https://westonps.org/
