Emergency School Closures (EBBD)

Occasionally, weather conditions, power failure, or water issues, etc. deem it necessary to close school or end the school day early either for specific schools or for the entire school district. As soon as a determination can be made, SMP will inform families and staff of the closure. A JTEXT notification will be sent out at the earliest reasonable hour, the district and the impacted school websites, and social media will be utilized to inform the public and families of the school closing(s). Public announcements and releases to the news media will also be disseminated as needed.
