School Closings & Delays
Below are the guidelines for students for the 2023-2024 school year as we enter the winter season with the possibility of hazardous driving conditions and colder weather. We know that these changes create additional scheduling challenges for families and will try to make a decision by 6:00 a.m. whenever possible. The safety of the students has been and will continue to be our primary concern on inclement weather days.
Calamity DayNo school for all students
No Food Services
2 Hr. Delay
Breakfast and Lunch will be served on a modified schedule.
All students will follow a modified schedule that starts 2 hours later and ends at the normal time.
AM Pre-K classes will be cancelled
PM Pre-K will run as usual
When there is a change due to weather, information will be announced via the district’s communication tools which includes:
The following media outlets will also be provided delay and closing information:
News | TV | Radio |
Mansfield News Journal Richland Source | WMFD TV 68 - Channel 15 Action News/CBS - Channel 19 WJW/Fox8 - Channel 8 WEWS/ABC - Channel 5 WKYC/NBC - Channel 3 | WMAN - 1400 AM WVNO - 106.1 FM Y-105 - 105.3 FM WRGM - 1440 AM |
If schools are in session and weather conditions deteriorate, the safety of the students may require an early dismissal. In homes where both parents work, an early dismissal can be very inconvenient. We urge those parents to be certain that the children, especially the younger ones, know where to go if we dismiss early. We will use the same methods of notification for early dismissal that we use for cancellation or 2-hour delays.
NO ANNOUNCEMENT WILL BE MADE BY THE MEDIA WHEN THE SCHOOLS WILL BE OPEN.
NOTIFICATION/ALERT SYSTEM
Instant Connect/Bright Arrow Alert is an emergency notification system for parents, faculty and staff that is now available to the families of the Mansfield City Schools. Instant Connect/Bright Arrow Alert will allow the district, or an individual school, to quickly and simultaneously issue alerts by telephone, texting and e-mail in case of emergencies and weather-related closings. Students are automatically integrated into the Alert system. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A STUDENT IN THE SYSTEM and wish to receive alert messages--Click the link below to register for an account.
