WCCS Winter Weather Protocols for Monday, December 15, 2025:
If the air temperature is expected to be -10 degrees Fahrenheit or colder at 6:30 a.m., then a two-hour delay may be considered in order to ensure daylight so that students are able to see buses approaching stops and do not have to wait at the stops in the cold.
If the air temperature remains at -10 degrees Fahrenheit or colder at 8:30 a.m., then school may be closed depending upon road conditions.
