When winter weather or other conditions require a change to the school schedule, the district uses several communication channels to notify families about school closings, delayed openings and early dismissals.
ParentSquare (phone, email and text)
The district will notify parents and guardians through its automated messaging system using phone calls, email and text messages. In order to ensure you receive these important alerts, families should:
- Confirm their contact information is current with their child’s school main office.
- Sign up for ParentSquare and download the app to receive notifications.
District Website
School closings, delays and/or early dismissals will be posted on the district website home page at www.libertyk12.org.
