Delays, Dismissals, Closings & Remote Learning Days
E-Learning Annual Notification

Announcements about changes in school day format

All delays in school opening, early dismissal of school, emergency school closings, or weather-related flexible learning days are announced via the School District’s emergency calling system, the District’s website (www.isd622.org), social media outlets (Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram), the District hotline (651-748-7621), and over local radio and television stations.

The emergency calling system allows the district to notify all families by phone, email, text, and the School District 622 mobile app in the event of a change in the school day. When the emergency calling feature is used, all phone numbers listed as contact numbers for a family will be called. Individual buildings also have the ability to use the system to notify their families of upcoming events. 

In the event of a delay in school opening, emergency school closing, or remote learning day, local radio and television stations will be contacted as early as possible. Students and families should expect notifications from District 622 via phone message, email, and/or text. Information is also posted on the district website and social media. If you do not receive notification, check Parent Portal to make sure your contact information is up-to-date.
