“When the decision is made, the Warrick County School Corporation will notify all local radio and television stations, and they, in turn, will relay the message to parents and students. The Warrick County School Corporation will also utilize a text, email, and phone notification system”

A 2 hour delay

On a delay morning every school starts 2 hours late.

“PLAN C - All schools in Warrick County will start two hours later. (This plan could be used when we have early morning fog, sleet, or snow with temperatures hovering around the freezing point.)”

Making up a lost day

Five scheduled no school make up days in the calendar, then extra days at the end of the year if needed.

Make up dates: Feb 5, Mar 12, Apr 2, Apr 23, May 14.

“2/5 Make-up Day/No School ... 3/12 Make-up Day/No School ... 4/2 Make-up Day/No School ... 4/23 Make-up Day/No School ... 5/14 Make-up Day/No School ... If necessary, additional make-up days will be scheduled at the end of the school year.”
