CLOSING/DELAYS

School closings or delays are announced on television, radio, and with the school’s alert system. The school answering machine is updated after 7:00 a.m. When school is delayed, students should not be dropped off more than half an hour before the first bell. The alert system sends notifications via phone, text, and email. Parents should make sure that all notifications are properly selected, so they receive the information they desire and in the desired form.

Cardinal Stritch Catholic High School & Academy Bus Service
When school is delayed for weather, morning bus routes pick-up times are two (2) hours later than the normal pick-up times.

Other Districts Bussing:
When school is delayed for weather, these districts provide transportation IF they are also on a two-hour delay. If we are weather delayed and they are not, they do NOT provide bus service to school for our students. Transportation home is provided for these students IF the appropriate Yellow Bus School District was also open that day.

When school is closed due to inclement weather conditions, the Director of Athletics makes the final decision by 2:00 p.m. whether afternoon and evening practices and games will take place that day based on the continuing weather conditions and forecast. If practices are permitted in the afternoon on a weather-closing day, student-athlete attendance is encouraged, but not mandatory, and the student-athlete cannot be penalized if he or she is unable to attend.

Practices scheduled in the afternoon and evening may not be moved up before 3:00 p.m. on weather-closing days.
