Inclement Weather Procedures

Lovejoy ISD is dedicated to making sure all parents and students are informed about school delays or closings due to inclement weather. The district utilizes a number of resources to notify individuals about school delays or closings, including several radio and television stations. While we recognize that all parents will not be reached through a single information source, our hope is that collectively we can provide ample avenues to obtain timely information.

In the event of inclement weather, updated information will be posted on the Lovejoy ISD website as well as Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. Information will also be distributed through the district’s BrightArrow Email and Text Message Notification System.

Please keep in mind that LISD will not send out or post notification to confirm school is in session. Parents, employees, and students should assume a normal school day unless notified otherwise.

Media Announcements 

The Lovejoy ISD website and social media channels will always provide the most up to date information about school delays or closings.

Inclement Weather Decisions

Question: How does the district determine if school is canceled or delayed due to weather conditions?

Answer: When inclement weather is forecasted for our area, Lovejoy ISD officials will monitor the weather, consult with state and local emergency personnel, and assess road conditions in and around the school district.  The decision to cancel or delay school is focused on observed or forecasted conditions that could impact the safe operations of our schools and school district, e.g., hazardous road conditions, utility outages, the inability to properly heat/cool our buildings. 

If a decision is made to either cancel or delay school, Lovejoy ISD will make every effort to inform the community as early as possible.

All decisions to either hold, cancel, or delay school will be made with the safety of our students, families, and staff in mind.
