Inclement Weather Procedures

Inclement Weather Procedures

Snow and thermometer Aledo ISD

The safety and security of the Aledo ISD students and staff is the district’s No. 1 priority and we will always respond first to the immediate emergency. After ensuring the safety of our Bearcats, our next priority will be communicating with parents and guardians.

Inclement Weather Procedures

Aledo ISD monitors the National Weather Service and local meteorologist forecasts before making decisions to close or delay school. Officials attempt to provide details about school closings to staff, students and parents before 5:30 a.m.

Factors considered before making a weather-related decision about school include:

  • road conditions, temperatures
  • the presence of snow, ice and sleet
  • teen driver safety
  • sidewalk and parking lot conditions; and
  • the ability for staff who live outside the district to get to work
  • whether or not HVAC systems are operating correctly; and
  • whether or not neighboring school districts are having school.

Severe Weather Procedures

Aledo ISD officials and campuses regularly monitor storms in the area, the National Weather Service, and local TV and radio stations for any potential alerts or risks. Aledo ISD officials receive regular updates and alerts from the Tarrant County Office of Emergency Management (OEM) and the National Weather Service.

In the event severe weather is approaching during the school day, the district will account for students and staff in secure locations and then communicate updates to parents. The district requests parents to not come to school buildings in the middle of a storm to pick up their children. Please let school officials effectively respond during a weather emergency and follow Aledo ISD's communication outlets for updates and announcements (Facebook, Twitter, Mobile App, ParentLink emails).


Notifications:

Aledo ISD will send alerts and updates via multiple communications tools. The district will post to Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Aledo ISD Mobile App, Parentlink emails, texts and utilize the district's website to keep parents, students and staff informed of weather-related alerts.
