Inclement Weather Conditions

Posted Date: 05/11/2021

Decisions made regarding the road conditions during inclement weather will follow the timeline below:

4:30 a.m. District Administration begins evaluating road conditions.  Monitoring weather forecasts, conference calls with the National Weather Service in Amarillo and discussions with neighboring school districts is an ongoing process that begins days before a forecasted winter storm or other inclement weather. 

5:45 a.m. District Administration will make a decision regarding school start or cancellation. 

6:00 a.m. Public Announcements Begin.  The Pampa radio stations KGRO/KOMX and Amarillo television stations will be notified of school status.  Pampa ISD “ALL CALL” automated phone notification will be initiated. Weather conditions will continue to be monitored throughout the day. 

10a.m. Start/Buses 2 hours late

When conditions exist that do not dictate the need to cancel school Pampa ISD may delay the start of school, to allow everyone additional time to drive slowly and take extra precautions. When this occurs the start time will be 10 a.m. (2 hours late). 

For students who ride a bus; if the normal pickup time is 7:15 a.m., the pickup time will be 9:15 a.m. (2 hours later than the normal pickup time).
