School Closures

Rogers Public Schools may delay opening schools, close schools early or cancel school for an entire day for hazardous weather or other emergencies.

If schools will open late or close for the day, we will post the cancellation on the district web site and notify local television and radio stations by 6 a.m. or as soon as possible. Before deciding to delay or cancel school, we drive the roads in the very early morning hours, consider the weather forecast and consult with others to help assess the situation. Keeping students safe is always our primary concern during inclement weather.

If schools are to be closed early, we will notify local radio stations as soon as possible. We urge working families to make a plan with their children about where they should go if school dismisses early and no one will be home.

Some of the stations that report local weather and school closings are:

Television
40/29-Channel 7
KNWA-Channel 9
KFSM 5-Channel 5

Radio
KURM-790 AM

Bellview Elementary Weather Station

Limited Bus Service

If the district announces there will be limited bus service, that means if the road leading to your child's bus stop is not safe for a bus, then the bus can be met at a main road on the bus route.
