Arrowhead is responsible for determining school delays and cancellations for all Arrowhead K-8 feeder schools. Decisions are based on gathering information from a variety of weather services, neighboring school districts, and local resources (DOT, Dousman Transportation, law enforcement, county, etc.). Every effort is made to obtain the most accurate information in making a determination of whether to run school. As always, the final decision of whether it is safe enough for your child to travel to school is yours, the parent. If a determination is made that school is in session and as a parent you do not want your child traveling to school, you should call school and ask that your child be excused for the day.
Being an optimist and because I prefer not to get up at 3:00 a.m. here’s hoping for another winter like we had last year.
Craig Jefson
Arrowhead Superintendent
