Inclement Weather Planning
In cases of inclement weather, Pampa ISD works in partnership with the City of Pampa, emergency management personnel, and the Pampa ISD Safety and Securty Department. Personnel will be out inspecting road conditions as early as 4:00 am determining the impact of ice/snow on our roadways.
District personnel will collaborate with all information available to determine the safety and security of our staff and students, the impact on parents if there is a delay/closure/early release, and the impact on District operations to support student instruction and learning.
The Pampa ISD Superintendent and support staff will make a decision no later than 6:00 a.m. for a delayed start or school closure. At that time, the District will initiate communications through ParentSquare, social media, local tv/radio, and the Pampa ISD website. The District will only initiate major communication if there is a change to the regular school day and school operations due to weather.
Delayed Start (2 Hour Delay)
When possible, the superintendent will make a decision no later than 6:00 a.m. The district will communicate weather-related delays through ParentSquare(emails, texts, app notifications, and phone calls).
