Tips for Parents!
Children learn best when routines and daily schedules have been established. Along with providing opportunities to learn about order, sequencing, and concepts of time, children also learn that
routines allow for responsibility, decision making, and sharing. Established routines make for
smoother transitions and help children to prepare mentally for the day and what is to come,
while providing frameworks in which creative learning can occur.
And remember, you don’t have to buy expensive toys to have a creative learning environment at
home—the most important ingredient is your own imagination. Your love and your time are
the greatest gifts you can give your child.
KUSD INCLEMENT WEATHER PROCEDURES
Kenosha Unified School District (KUSD) puts student safety first when determining whether to close schools due to extreme weather. Several factors are taken into consideration, including:
Is there a sustained wind chill of -34° or lower? (automatic closure)
Is there a sustained temperature of -20° or lower? (automatic closure)
Will the wind chill stay that low for an extended period of time?
Is there blowing and driving snow with winds of 20 miles per hour?
Is there or will there be a heavy accumulation of snow, especially during the typical travel times to and from school?
Are streets and sidewalks clear?
Are buses unable to run due to extreme cold or unplowed streets?
Are driving conditions hazardous?
Are there power or phone outages?
In the event our schools are closed or the arrival/dismissal time is changed due to severe weather, an announcement will be made
via: local television stations, radio stations, KUSD website (www.kusd.edu), KUSD Channel 20, Facebook.com/kenoshaschools,
Twitter.com/KUSD, 359-SNOW (7669).
If schools are to be closed for the day, KUSD will make every effort to release this information via the aforementioned avenues by
5:30 a.m. If school is closed, all after school activities in the district, including sports and evening events, will also be canceled. Also,
when KUSD schools are closed, no transportation will be provided to private and parochial schools.
Please instruct your child in what to do, who to contact, and where to go if school is dismissed early. School personnel will not leave
buildings until all students are transported home and walkers are dismissed.
THREE PROCEDURES TO LOOK/LISTEN FOR
Unless notified otherwise, Procedure 1 is in effect.
PROCEDURE 1: All schools in KUSD will be open today. Students and personnel are expected to attend.
