Preparing for Late Starts, Early Outs, and Cancellations

As everyone knows, Iowa weather changes rapidly.  Therefore, it is important to have a plan in case one of the following weather related events happens:

  • School is cancelled
  • School is delayed
  • School is ended early
One key part of having an effective plan is to stay informed of any school updates.  Although Ms. Sheesley and I try to keep you informed by sending out texts, emails, and phone calls, the most accurate sources are looking at updates at dmps.org, the Des Moines Schools Facebook page, and on your local news station’s website.  One method I have began using this year and have appreciated is receiving a text update from our local news station’s website.
Thanks for your support,
Mr. Heaberlin
