Lubbock ISD also reminded parents of guidelines for winter weather on Thursday morning.

Though much of the snow and ice has melted, there are still places that could be hazardous. Students and staff should follow the guidelines below when getting out in the morning.

• Slow down, and drive carefully. All staff members should allow for extra travel time. While main roads throughout the area should be mostly clear, many neighborhood streets – including those around many of our campuses – may still be impacted.
• Bundle up, and wear appropriate footwear. Temperatures will remain low Thursday morning. Warm clothing and weather-appropriate footwear are crucial to student and staff safety.
• Be prepared for our students’ arrival. If working directly with students, staff should plan travel accordingly to have ample time to prepare before students arrive.

So far, no other school districts in the Lubbock area have announced any delays for Thursday. Sorry kids, go to school.
