Will Tippecanoe close tomorrow?
How Tippecanoe calls a snow day
When the call comes
On or before 6 am.
“A decision to delay or cancel must be made on or before 6 am in order to avoid having students in transit.”Source
How families hear
By the district app, local TV, radio, the district website, text message and email.
“These media outlets include, but are not limited to, 105.3 FM-WKOA, 98.7 FM-WASK, WLFI-TV 18, 96.5 FM-WAZY, Journal & Courier and Indianapolis TV stations. The information will be posted to the TSC website”Safety and Weather Alerts - Tippecanoe School Corporation
A 2 hour delay
On a delay morning every school starts 2 hours late.
“Two-hour delays or early dismissals continue to be waived by the Indiana Department of Education and these days will count as a full instructional day and do not have to be made up.”
1 built in snow day
On the 2026 to 2027 calendar, listed as “Make-up day”.
“23 Mid-Spring Break - No School - Make-up day”Source
A snow day is a day off
Tippecanoe closes rather than going remote.
“eLearning is not utilized by the TSC in the context described by the Indiana Department of Education for school closings.”Source
Making up a lost day
Built in make-up day April 23, then extending the end of the year.
“When school is canceled, days are made up according to the corporation calendar through built-in makeup days and/or by extending the end of the scheduled school year.”Source

- First day August 6, 2026
