How Hazelwood calls a snow day

How families hear

By email, phone call, text message, the district website and social media.

“On inclement weather days in which AMI will be used, alerts will be sent to parents/guardians via email, phone, and text and will be posted on the website and in social media outlets.”
Inclement Weather Instruction/AMI Plan

Remote learning days

Hazelwood has remote learning days in its winter plan.

“Hazelwood School District has worked through a collaborative process to develop an Alternative Method of Instruction (AMI) plan to be utilized when school is closed due to inclement weather or other emergency circumstances for up to 36 hours of attendance.”

The Missouri rule

How Missouri counts a lost day

Missouri requires at least 1,044 hours of actual pupil attendance, plus 36 make-up hours built into the calendar for bad weather. A district must make up the first 36 weather hours and half of any hours beyond that, but never more than 60 make-up hours in total; anything past that is excused.
