Lincoln Elementary is an identified school to be on a Weather Delay Schedule, if the district calls for a weather delay due to inclement weather. The purpose of the Weather Delay Schedule is to provide school buses additional time to pick up students and reduce student wait time in severe weather. The decision to close or delay school will be made by the superintendent based on information provided by representatives from DPS Transportation Services, transportation agencies and the weather bureau.
Staff are still expected to report for work at normal time, even if there is a weather delay. Because we have only have a small number of students who rely on the school bus to come to school, all students may come to school at the regular start time. However, no students will be marked tardy until after 10:00 am.
In the event of inclement weather, district officials will make the decision by 5 a.m. If the decision is made to close or delay school, local television and radio stations will be notified immediately and broadcast regular announcements of school closures or delays.
