Janesville School District Snow Day Predictor

When the call comes

The night before (if possible) or by 6:00 a.m.

“information will be communicated to the public the night before (if possible) or by 6:00 a.m. on the day of the closing or delay.”

How families hear

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

“You can choose to receive messages via any/or all inbox, email, voice, and/or text options.”

A 2 hour delay

On a delay morning every school starts 2 hours late.

“If the SDJ decides a 2-hour delay is needed, middle and high school classes will begin at 10:00 AM, with elementary school starting at 10:15 AM. On delay days, school breakfast will not be available, but school lunches will.”

2 built in snow days

On the 2026 to 2027 calendar, listed as “inclement weather days ('snow days')”.

“The SDJ school calendar has built-in time to accommodate weather delays/closures. With that in mind, the SDJ will allow for two inclement weather days to be just that – 'snow days' on which no school work will be required of students.”

Making up a lost day

Beyond the first two days, the district announces a plan for any missed hours.

“With any additional inclement-weather days beyond the first two, the SDJ will communicate plans to address any missed instructional hours that may need to be made up.”

The 2026 to 2027 calendar

• First day August 24, 2026
• Winter break Dec 23 to Jan 3
• Last day May 28, 2027

The board policy

“The District Administrator has the authority to make the decision on whether or not to close schools due to bad weather conditions.”
