How Davis calls a snow day
When the call comes
In the early-morning hours, before school buses hit the roadways.
“The decision to close schools or delay their openings actually occurs in the early-morning hours as district officials begin assessing what the weather amounted to the previous night.”Source
How families hear
By phone call, email, text message, the district website, social media, local TV and radio.
“Area radio and TV stations will also be notified to spread the word that schools are closed.”Inclement Weather Information and FAQs
A 2 hour delay
On a delay morning every school starts 2 hours late.
“Elementary schools will start two hours later than normal at 10:50 a.m.”Delay schedule
Remote learning days
Davis has remote learning days in its winter plan.
“Due to snow accumulation, schools in the Davis School District will implement a remote learning day.”Source
Making up a lost day
School may be held on February 12 as a makeup day; state law requires closures be made up.
“In case of a closure for inclement weather, school may be held on February 12th as a makeup day. The compensation day would then be rescheduled.”Source

How Utah counts a lost day
Utah requires at least 180 school days of educational services. No fixed count; a district that closes for snow and would fall short of 180 days can ask the State Superintendent for a waiver, granted without Board approval if it built contingency days into its calendar.
