Emergency Weather Closings
CHPS has an established process for closing schools during extreme weather. School closings are announced on KARE11 (channel 11), WCCO (channel 4), KSTP (channel 5) and Fox 9 (channel 9). Families are also notified by automated telephone calls to phone numbers they have on file, a mass email, the District website and posts on Facebook and Instagram (@CHPSisd13). Please note if none of the above are activated, school is in session.
Communications
CHPS is committed to providing timely and effective communication across multiple channels. In addition to various publications, the District sends out weekly CHPS Update emails and occasional all-calls to keep families up to date on important information. The District also maintains a Facebook and Instagram (@CHPSisd13) account to provide relevant information and fun updates. Schools utilize additional platforms like ParentVUE and Seesaw to communicate with families. We encourage all families and community members to subscribe to the District's HylanderCONNECT monthly emails to stay connected on all things CHPS, from press releases to important announcements. For more information on how CHPS communicates with its community, visit the Communications Department Webpage.
