SCHOOL DELAYS AND CANCELLATIONS
In the event of inclement weather Des Moines Public Schools may do one of four things:
- Cancel classes at all schools but administrative and school offices remain open.
- Cancel classes at all schools and administrative and school offices are closed.
- Dismiss schools two hours early.
- Delay the start of school by two hours but administrative and school offices open at regular time.
If the Superintendent issues one of these four notices, this link explains what impact it will have on students, parents and school district employees.
