Please raise any questions, comments, or concerns that can be made here. Questions, Comments, Concerns, Compliments CENTRAL ILLINOIS (WCIA) Icy roads have several school districts closing Tuesday. Information about the cancellation of after-school activities will be shared via School Messenger and the PCSD and school websites. Student emergency cards should be updated annually and whenever contact information changes. Therefore, it is very important that all students’ emergency cards have accurate and updated information. In the event of an emergency early dismissal, no elementary, middle, or high school student will be released until contact has been made with a parent or approved emergency contact person. The District makes every effort to avoid emergency early dismissals. Information about school closings will be provided to the following: Please Remember to Update Your Contact Information to Receive Important School Closing/Delay Alerts The District website will display any closing or delay information on the front page of the website. The ParentSquare automated calling system will notify families of any delays or closings. Our top priority is the safety and security of our students. When closing or delay is announced, it affects all schools and programs of Poughkeepsie City School District, unless the closing or delay is due to an emergency situation specific to a particular building. By no later than 6 a.m., the information is posted on our website, School Messenger is dispatched to families, and radio and television stations are notified. Closing schools to tackle Covid puts childrens lives on hold and should be kept to an 'absolute minimum', the head of Englands schools watchdog has said. We want to ensure that our families have clear, accurate, and timely communication throughout the process. At approximately 4:30 a.m., the Superintendent consults with the Director of Buildings and Grounds, Fleet weather service, and other school Superintendents in surrounding Districts to make a final decision by 5:30 a.m. as to whether schools will remain open or close during bad weather. We consider a number of critical factors in making this decision. Enrollment in the district has declined more than 25 since 2016, dropping from. The move would save the school district an estimated 475,000 a year in maintenance and utilities costs, said Superintendent Donald McFann. To this end, we take the decision to open or close schools very seriously. A steady decline in enrollment has led Bethlehem-Center School District to consider closing the district’s middle school. ![]() The Poughkeepsie City School District understands that the decision to open or close schools in inclement weather deeply impacts our families.
