Inclement Weather Procedures

At Canyon ISD, the safety of our students and staff is always our top priority. We strive to keep schools open as often as possible while making sure travel conditions are safe. Our decisions about school closures or schedule changes are based on detailed information from the National Weather Service, local law enforcement, transportation officials, road assessments by district staff, and other reliable sources.

When evaluating weather-related closures, we consider visibility, snow depth, ice accumulation, temperature, and the forecast for continued severe conditions.

How We Announce Weather Decisions

If weather conditions require changes to the school schedule, we will share updates as quickly as possible through the following channels:

• ParentSquare Message

• District Website: canyonisd.net

• Social Media: Follow our district and campus accounts on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.

  • https://www.facebook.com/CanyonISD

  • https://x.com/CanyonISD

• Local Television and Radio Stations

Important: If you do not see or hear a weather-related announcement, it means schools will operate on a normal schedule.

Weather Decisions Timeline

• Evening or Overnight Weather:
  If severe weather occurs overnight, our team will monitor conditions and make a decision by 6:00 AM.

  • If there is a definitive forecast of severe weather, decisions could be made the evening before.

• After-School Activities:
  All after-school programs and events—including Canyon Kids, athletic practices, tutorials, PTA meetings, and facility rentals—will be evaluated based on current conditions.
