KIDS WEST: Weather Policy

District Policy
KIDS WEST uses West Des Moines Community School District buildings and abides by the district’s cancellation/early dismissal policy regarding school closings (it also lists the radio and television stations to watch for announcements).

In the event of severe weather or weather-related emergencies, the following policies are in effect:

Cancellation
If school is cancelled for the day, KIDS WEST will be cancelled. District school buildings are not available for our use if school is closed.

Late Start
If school starts late, KIDS WEST will also start late. For example, with a one-hour late school start, KIDS WEST will open at 7:30 a.m. instead of 6:30 a.m. and continue until school starts at 9:50 a.m.

Early Dismissal
If school dismisses early, KIDS WEST begins at time of dismissal. Parents are asked to pick up their child(ren) as soon as possible so that they – and the staff – may travel home safely.

Full-Day Care Cancellation
If weather is severe or an emergency arises during full-day care, the decision to cancel KIDS WEST or KIDS WEST Summer Day Camp will be made at 5:30 a.m. We will credit your account for any session cancelled if you have paid in advance.

Outdoor Play and Field Trips
KIDS WEST office and on-site staff will monitor extreme weather conditions when making decisions regarding outdoor play and field trips.
