Keeping the DMPS Community Safe and Secure

Emergencies

If you or your child have an emergency that will impact your child’s school day, please contact your student’s school directly. Contact information for individual schools is available under the Schools menu.

If there is a school or district-wide emergency situation, please do not telephone your child’s school. The phone lines need to remain open so additional assistance can be summoned. School emergency updates will be communicated with families via Snap! Connect, and through ParentSquare to pilot schools.

Updated information on district-wide events will be available through the local news media, the school district’s web site, and/or the school district’s Facebook and Twitter page.

Weather-Related Closings/Delays/Dismissals

In the event of severe weather, schools will either be closed for the entire day, begin 2 hours later, or be dismissed 2 hours early.

Announcements will be made through the local news media, the school district’s web site, the school district’s Facebook and Twitter pages, and Infinite Campus, Snap! Connect, and ParentSquare pilot schools. Detailed information on the impact of school closings due to severe weather is available here.
