At Canyon ISD, the safety and well-being of our students are our highest priorities. During periods of inclement weather, we carefully evaluate conditions to determine whether schools can safely operate. 


Decision-Making Process
Decisions regarding school closures or schedule adjustments are guided by information from multiple trusted sources, including: 

• The National Weather Service
• Local law enforement and transportation officials
• Road assessments conducted by district staff
• Other reliable sources

When assessing weather-related risks, the distric considers factors such as: 

• Road viability
• Snow and ice accumulation
• Temperature and wind chill
• Forecasts for continued or worsening conditions

Announcing Schedule Changes
If inclement weather requires a change to the school schedule, updates will be communicated as promptly as possible: 

• ParentSquare notification
• Social media: Facebook, Instagram and X
• Local television and radio stations

Important: If you do not see or hear a weather-related announcement from Canyon ISD, schools will operate on the normal schedule. 

Timeline for Weather Decisions

• Evening or Overnight Weather:
  When severe weather occurs overnight, decisions are made by 6 a.m. the following morning. For forecasts predicting significant weather in advance, decisions may be made the evening prior. 
   
• After-School Programs and Events:
  All after-school programs—including Canyon Kids, athletic practices, tutorials, PTA meetings, and facility rentals—will be evaluated based on current conditions and may be canceled or postponed.
