Every effort is made to get the delay or cancellation information out quickly and accurately to the media. Please see the following document for your school's schedule icon School day schedules.

Warsaw Community Schools uses a detailed and specific procedure to determine when school will be delayed or cancelled.

When a cancellation or delay is considered for weather-related reasons, the transportation director begins evaluating the road situation before 4:45 a.m. The school district is divided into quadrants with bus drivers reporting on conditions in their area before 5:00 a.m.

The transportation director may also request information from the Warsaw Police, Kosciusko County Sheriff, and the Highway Departments. After all the information is compiled, the transportation director then discusses the situation with the superintendent, who makes the final decision. If a delay or cancellation is called, the area television and radio stations are then notified. Normally this procedure is completed before 5:30 a.m.

Parents and other interested people are asked not to call television stations, radio stations, schools, or the transportation department for information during inclement weather.

Delays and announcements are also broadcast on WRSW 107.3, WIOE 98.3, and Willie 103.5.
