Inclement Weather Procedures

Our Commitment to Safety 

Bridgeport ISD is committed to providing a quality educational experience everyday for our students. Occasionally, the weather becomes a factor beyond our control and can cause changes in the daily schedule. We know that closings can cause problems for families; therefore, weather conditions are carefully reviewed before classes are canceled, started late, or dismissed early. School personnel and transportation plans are in place to assure the well-being of students affected by the decision to dismiss students early. 

Communicating About Inclement Weather

In the event schools are to be closed or the daily schedule is altered due to a severe weather change, information will be posted on the Bridgeport ISD website, social media pages, and released to television stations. Decisions to close will be announced by 6 a.m. or as soon thereafter as possible. In situations where school is dismissed early due to inclement weather, please check our website or social media pages for the most current information. 

If weather conditions exist or should develop during the course of the day that will have an effect upon driving conditions and/or school facilities, it may become necessary to close school or dismiss students early. Parents should discuss with their children what to do if school is dismissed and buses run early, bringing their child home earlier than is scheduled.
