KSSB Facebook: www.facebook.com/KSBlind KSSB Twitter: twitter.com/KansasBlind Any time area school districts have an early dismissal due to inclement weather, KSSB will keep our daily schedule as is. If parents/school districts choose to pick up their day student(s) early due to inclement weather, please contact the KSSB school office. Any time area school districts have a late start due to inclement weather, KSSB will start on time at 7:55 am. If parents/school districts choose to not travel in adverse conditions, please contact the KSSB school office.
Please note the following: If the weather forecast is threatening inclement weather on a Sunday, KSSB will review the forecast and may close the dormitory Sunday evening and cancel classes on Monday. If the weather forecast is threatening inclement weather on a Friday, KSSB may decide to dismiss students on a Thursday or early on a Friday in order to return students home safely before the weather begins. Even though KSSB may be open, we encourage families to not travel in adverse conditions. Ultimately, this decision is totally up to the local school district personnel, drivers, and parents.
