School closings

School closings refer to the temporary cancellation of classes and activities at educational institutions. This can happen for various reasons, including severe weather conditions (like snowstorms or hurricanes), health concerns (such as outbreaks of illness), or safety issues (like threats or emergencies). During a school closing, students typically stay home, and communication is usually provided by the school or district to inform parents and guardians. Decisions are made to ensure the safety and well-being of students and staff, and they can last for a day or longer depending on the situation.
