District Communications
Weather Policies
Road conditions, extreme temperatures, and weather forecasts are checked by the administration each day during inclement weather situations. Based on conditions and data collected, the Superintendent makes the final determination to close or operate as normal.
We also have safety policies in place for the occurrence of severe weather during school hours and after-school activities.
Communication on closing is broadcast on local TV news stations (Wood TV 8, Fox 17, WZZM 13), email, text, District Facebook & Instagram, and the District Homepage of the website.
Closure due to Weather
- District is closed for all staff and students.
- After-school activities
Severe Weather Watch
- District administrators will monitor the severe weather watch and follow warning procedures if needed.
Severe Weather Warning
- Students are taken to predetermined shelter areas until the warning is lifted.
- If the warning continues through dismissal times, all students will remain in shelter areas until the warning is lifted.
After-School Activities and Severe Weather
- If a Tornado Watch or Warning is announced during school hours, all after-school and evening activities will be cancelled.
- An 'All Clear' must be determined by the Administration before evening events can continue as scheduled.
Emergency Notifications
In the event of emergency situations, we communicate using our messaging system via email and text.
We request that parents do not call the school directly to keep our phone lines open and available, as this is crucial during an emergency event.

Standard Response Protocol
The district is transitioning to the I Love You Guys Standard Response Protocols (SRP) terminology used in school districts across Michigan. While this will become mandatory in the 2026-27 school year, Kelloggsville Public Schools believes this proven system ensures an effective response in any situation, keeping everyone on campus safe.
