Cedar Springs Public Schools recognizes that weather conditions caused by snow, ice, or other weather emergencies can create a situation that makes it unsafe for students, parents, and staff traveling to and/or from school.

When considering the matter of closing schools, the safety of our students is our number one priority.

We begin early in the morning driving the roads and we are in contact with the Kent County Sheriff Department and local weather channels to determine both current and likely future conditions.

The decision to open schools on schedule will only be made if it is felt students and staff will be able to travel safely. If weather conditions worsen during the school day, an early school dismissal is possible.  Please have an alternate plan that your child is aware of in the event an early dismissal is necessary.

As a parent, you have the right to excuse your child if you feel it is not safe for them.
