Winter Weather Forces School Closures and Delays in San Antonio Area!

Hey there, San Antonio! It looks like winter has decided to pay us a visit, bringing with it chilly temperatures and a mix of wintry weather that has caused a ripple effect throughout local school districts. As we prepare for some cold and possibly slippery conditions, various schools in the Hill Country and South Central Texas have announced closures and delays. Let’s break down what you need to know!

What’s in Store Weather-Wise?

The weather forecast for the next couple of days foresees a mix of rain, sleet, and cold temperatures dipping into the 30s. That’s right! Grab your favorite cozy sweater because those clouds have plans to pour down some serious rain starting Thursday morning. Things are expected to ramp up into widespread rainfall as the afternoon rolls around, making the commute a bit tricky. So, let’s bundle up, shall we?

School Closures

For starters, Comfort ISD has announced a complete cancellation of classes due to severe weather conditions. If you are part of this district, take this time to relax and enjoy some indoor activities!

Delayed Starts

Other districts like Mason ISD and Crystal City ISD are taking a more cautious approach by implementing delayed starts. If your school is one of those, make sure to adjust your morning routine—a little extra sleep never hurt anyone! Meanwhile, Harper ISD is also delaying its start time by two hours on Friday, so keep your alarms set accordingly.

And for parents of kiddos in Ingram ISD, stay tuned, as they are considering a delayed start of around 10 a.m. on Friday, pending further evaluations of conditions. Make sure to check in for updates!

Classroom Updates

Meanwhile, not all schools are closing their doors!

East Central ISD plans to keep its schools open with expectations of above-freezing temperatures and manageable road conditions. That said, we would recommend everyone to tread carefully.

As for North East ISD, they have indicated that road conditions are not perceived to be dangerous, allowing students to head to class as usual.

However, students at Judson ISD will see an adjustment in their schedules. While regular classes will continue through Thursday, after-school activities are being canceled due to the expected inclement weather. Remember to check Friday’s schedule just to be safe!

In addition, Kerrville ISD has decided that all after-school activities will also be put on hold for Thursday, with updates on Friday’s plans to be shared by 6 a.m. Keep your eyes peeled for any information!

Parent Tips: Stay Updated

As winter weather can be unpredictable, parents are encouraged to stay in the loop by checking social media for timely updates regarding school schedules. This will help ensure you’re well-prepared for any changes that may come up and keep everyone safe during these chilly days.

So there you have it, folks! Make sure to keep warm and check in with your local school district to stay updated on all the changes. We’re all in this winter wonderland together!
