Because of this week’s extreme weather and challenging travel conditions, and out of concern for the safety of students and employee, Canyons District will delay the start of school for two hours on Thursday, Feb. 23.

On Thursday, schools will start two hours later than the regular bell schedule. This means that bus routes will be two hours later than the regularly scheduled time. In addition, and as a result of the delayed start, morning sessions of preschool and kindergarten are cancelled.

Morning classes at the Canyons Technical Education Center also are cancelled. Afternoon sessions of preschool and kindergarten, as well as CTEC classes, will be held as usual and all schools will end at their regular time.

We thank you in advance for your patience as our buses navigate the roads, and we are instructing our schools to be lenient with student tardies.

With the understanding that many roads are still unplowed, as always, parents can make the decision for what is best for their families.

Employees are asked to arrive at work as soon as they can safely do so.
