Inclement Weather and School Closings

In the event of inclement weather, we will decide to close school based on a number of factors, including student safety, bus transportation, road conditions and wind chill temperature.

When possible, the decision to close school is made by 10 p.m. the night before; however, inclement weather events often occur in the early morning. If the decision cannot be made by 10 p.m., then a decision will be made between 5-5:30 a.m. the next morning.

Our school district uses the following tools to communicate school closures due to inclement weather:

  • Text: Families and staff will receive a text from us anytime the district is closed due to inclement weather.
     
  • Email: All families and staff will receive an email notification when school is closed.
     
  • Phone: Families and staff will receive a phone call if the decision to cancel school is made during the day or before 10 p.m.
     
  • Website: Inclement weather information will be posted on the homepage of our district website.
     
  • Social Media: Follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram for weather-related closures.
     
  • ParentSquare: Download the ParentSquare mobile app to receive push notifications for weather-related closures.
     
  • Local News: Lindbergh Schools will be listed on all major TV and radio stations in the event of a weather-related closure.

Alternative Methods of Instruction

Lindbergh Schools has been approved for Alternative Methods of Instruction (AMI) by the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. AMI allows districts to provide alternative instruction in lieu of a traditional school day if circumstances require it.

AMI learning may include a review of previous learning or new learning opportunities through either synchronous or asynchronous instruction using district-provided devices. At the elementary level, students will be expected to complete personalized learning menus of activities. At the secondary level, submission of assignments through Canvas will be expected.

AMI is an option the district can use in lieu of emergency makeup or snow days. Families will be notified by the district via email, text and phone if AMI will be provided. Teachers will follow district communications with specific instructions for students and families.
