The district’s goal is to communicate decisions concerning weather-related delays or cancelations by approximately 6:30 a.m. Because weather forecasts and conditions often change overnight, final determinations are typically made the morning in question.
As soon as a decision is made to cancel, delay or dismiss schools, an announcement is posted on the Bardstown City Schools Facebook and Instagram accounts. The information is also communicated immediately to Louisville television stations, including WDRB, WLKY, WHAS 11, and WAVE 3. Local news stations, including The Kentucky Standard, PLG 13 and WBRT are also notified.
A phone message is sent by the district’s automated alert system. Delivering the message to the entire district typically takes five to ten minutes. It is very important that parents and staff members keep their contact information up-to-date with the school office.
In addition, Bardstown Early Childhood Education Center and Bardstown Child Care will communicate schedule changes through their individual social media accounts and texts.
