Weather Policy

When deviating from the normal schedule, Batesville Community Schools employ only two options.  School will either be closed for the entire day or placed on “Plan B” which is a 2 hour delay with school starting for all students except P.M. Kindergarten at 10:00 A.M.  There may be occasional situations when notification begins with Plan B, but deteriorating weather conditions subsequently necessitate changing to schools being closed.  Please note that kindergarten classes, both morning and afternoon, will be held on Plan B days with adjusted starting times of 10:00 a.m. and 12:45 noon, respectively. 

Decisions to close or initiate Plan B are generally made in the early morning hours prior to 6 a.m.  On rare occasions a cancellation notice will be forwarded to the news media the night before school.

The radio and TV stations listed above have agreed to broadcast BCSC closure/delay information.  We urge residents to closely monitor one of these stations, particularly WRBI  (103.9 FM), as they will be promptly updated as conditions dictate.  These same stations will also be used whenever weather conditions necessitate early dismissal.

Reminder:  Parents please discuss early dismissal plans with your child.  Listen to WRBI for current information.
