(due to extreme weather / road conditions)
The Platte Valley and the US-30/i-80 corridor experiences some extreme weather at times.
Our three Head Bus Drivers from Saratoga, Encampment, and Hanna / Medicine Bow / Elk Mountain will communicate with county officials, law enforcement, WDOT, etc. – and each other when applicable – and consider whether a 2-hour late start (or closure) would make sense – to increase safety, allow the County more time to clear the roads, and provide for daylight operation of buses. If so, they will notify the Superintendent of their concerns by 6:00 AM and a final decision will be made. BigFoot99 Radio will be contacted before 6:30 AM to have them announce it from that point throughout the morning. We will also make every attempt to post it on the CCSD#2 District website and each school website, if our Internet is working, but the radio will be the community’s best source of information.
A 2-hour late start would mean that buses will begin their runs 2-hours later than normal and school will not start until 2 hours later than normal. Therefore, parents will not be able to drop off their students at schools until 2 hours later than normal.
Please listen to BigFoot99 radio in the mornings, especially if there might be a chance of late start or closure of Saratoga, Encampment, or Hanna / Medicine Bow / Elk Mountain schools due to weather conditions. If we can make the call the evening before, we will do so.
Also please note: Since our District covers such a large geographic area with sometimes different road and weather conditions, schools in the south (Saratoga and Encampment) might have a different decision than our Norther Schools (Hanna / Medicine Bow / Elk Mountain) and vice versa.
If you have questions, feel free to call your school principal or the District Office.
