Students dressed warmly heading to school in San Antonio during winter weather.
As winter weather approaches, San Antonio schools are sticking to their schedules, ensuring students can continue learning. While some districts are monitoring conditions closely, most are maintaining regular classes. Parents are encouraged to prepare for colder temperatures, and safety remains a priority as the community navigates the season’s challenges.
As San Antonio braces for some chilly weather, local schools are sticking to their regular schedules. Weather forecasts predict wintry conditions, including rain, sleet, and possibly ice, starting this Thursday. But don’t worry! Most districts are ready to keep the classrooms open, ensuring that students can continue learning without interruption.
In an unexpected turn of events on Monday morning, a minor crash involving a North East ISD school bus reminded the community of the importance of road safety. The bus reportedly pulled out in front of an SUV. Thankfully, no injuries were reported, but it served as a timely reminder for everyone to stay vigilant while driving, especially as winter weather approaches.
Despite the incoming cold front, families can expect a full day of classes on Thursday. School districts like Alamo Heights, East Central, Edgewood, Hays Consolidated, Judson, and Northside have confirmed that they will hold classes as planned. Parents are encouraged to keep their usual school routines, such as ensuring students finish their homework and pack their backpacks the night before. Consistency is key!
Local districts are taking the matter of attendance very seriously. They emphasize the importance of regular attendance, even in this cold weather. Students are urged to dress warmly, as the temperatures are expected to feel quite chilly. Comfort ISD in Kendall County is the only district that has decided to cancel classes because of severe weather conditions. Meanwhile, Mason County’s Mason ISD and Zavala County’s Crystal City ISD are opting for delayed openings to allow things to settle down a bit.
East Central ISD has been proactive in communicating with other districts to assess conditions and felt confident about remaining open since temperatures are forecasted to stay above freezing. Judson ISD has announced it will keep regular classes, but any outdoor after-school activities on Thursday have been canceled to ensure student safety.
In an effort to prioritize student well-being, North East ISD is keeping a close watch on weather forecasts and road conditions, assuring families that freezing precipitation should not significantly affect travel for students. They plan to evaluate the situation and share any updates by early morning on Thursday.
Additionally, Edgewood ISD is opening its campuses early to give students a chance to warm up once they arrive. Northside ISD will provide indoor options for recess, especially if temperatures drop into the mid-thirties. Meanwhile, Hays CISD is monitoring the situation carefully but remains committed to staying open, reminding families to keep safety in mind as they navigate the icy landscape.
Families are advised to prepare for a safe commute. Setting aside some warm clothing and leaving home a bit earlier than usual could make all the difference. Different school districts are emphasizing the significance of safer transport practices and readiness for the cold. Parents are reminded to dress their children warmly as they head out.
San Antonio ISD’s superintendent is committed to ensuring school facilities are ready for the cold weather after facing difficulties last winter. There’s a strong sense of community and safety among the schools, encouraging everyone to stay alert and prepared.
As we look forward to a wintery San Antonio, let’s all do our part to keep our kids safe, warm, and ready to learn!
