1. Monitoring Conditions
The district monitors forecasts from the National Weather Service, local emergency management, and road crews to ensure the safety of students and staff.
2. Tornado Warnings During School Hours
• If a tornado warning is issued, students and staff will shelter in designated safe areas inside the school until the warning expires.
• If students are on a bus at a school site, they will unload and shelter inside the building until the all clear is given.
• Parents are asked not to come to the school during an active warning, as this could put both you and your child at greater risk.
• If parents are already at the school or in the carline when a warning is issued, you are welcome to come inside and shelter in a designated visitor area. Staff will not bring students out to the carline during an active warning.
3. Notification of Families and Staff
• Updates will be shared through the district’s phone, email, and text alert system.
• Information will also be posted on the district website, official social media, and local radio/TV stations.
4. After-School Activities
• When school is canceled or dismissed early due to winter weather or severe storms, all after-school activities and events will be canceled unless otherwise announced.

TPS WILL be in school tomorrow!
We’re excited to welcome our students and staff back! As always, safety comes first—if a bus driver finds any road unsafe, they will not travel on it.
Thank you for your continued support and flexibility as we take care of our TPS family.
¡TPS ESTARÁ en sesión mañana!
¡Estamos emocionados de dar la bienvenida de nuevo a nuestros estudiantes y personal! Como siempre, la seguridad es lo primero: si un conductor de autobús encuentra alguna carretera insegura, no circulará por ella.
Gracias por su apoyo continuo y flexibilidad mientras que cuidamos nuestra familia TPS.


After spending several hours today driving roads and monitoring conditions, we have determined that school will be canceled on Thursday, January 29th. While we hoped for continued improvement, many of the areas our families and buses travel remain unsafe.
Our 17 bus routes cover hundreds of miles each morning, including neighborhood and dirt roads that are expected to remain icy. The safety of our students and staff must come first.
We are very grateful to our city and county road crews who have been working tirelessly to improve conditions, and we truly appreciate their service and dedication.
Thank you for your patience and understanding. Please stay safe and warm.
