Berkeley County School District Snow Day Predictor

When the call comes

Process begins no later than 4 a.m.; goal is to communicate by 5:30 a.m.

“This process begins no later than 4 am, unless the decision to close can be made the night before.”

How families hear

By text message, email, local TV, the district website and the district app.

“we begin notifying families, staff, and the community through multiple channels, including text, email, media, our website, and app push notifications. It is our goal to communicate this information by 5:30 am.”

A 2 hour delay

On a delay morning every school starts 2 hours late.

“Two-hour delays are necessary when additional time is needed to evaluate changing weather conditions and forecasts.”

Remote learning days

Berkeley has remote learning days in its winter plan, up to 5 a year.

“Remote learning days are observed on days 6-10.”

Making up a lost day

After 10 snow days, makeup days may be added; spring break and scheduled OS days may be affected.

“If more than 10 snow days are used, "makeup days" may be added to the calendar, where Spring Break, previously scheduled OS Days, etc. may be impacted to ensure the required 180 instructional days are met.”
