Inclement Weather
Guidelines
The following information details our approach to school
cancellations due to inclement weather. There are several
principles that guide our decision-making with regard to
school closings. First and foremost, however, is the safety
of all our students and staff.
Clarkston Schools
On days when inclement weather occurs, we try our best
to make the call by 5:30 a.m. to provide as much time as
possible for families to be notified so that arrangements
may be made for childcare, etc. Once the decision is
made to cancel school, we inform parents via automated
phone calls, the Detroit-area media, email, Clarkston
Community Calendar eblasts, our website, Twitter and
Facebook page. Decisions regarding school closings
due to snow and ice are made after CCS transportation
staff make a recommendation regarding the ability of
our buses and drivers to safely conduct their routes. It is
