When inclement weather is forecasted...we receive a lot of questions regarding attendance. Please see below for some of the most asked questions:

Inclement weather decisions for early dismissal are based on several factors, including:

Road and sidewalk safety
Temperature and wind chill
Bus accessibility
Potential power outages

Attendance During Inclement Weather-
If a parent or guardian chooses to keep a student home due to weather conditions, the absence will not be excused unless: Western Heights Public School district closes school, or Western Heights Public Schools officially notifies families that students will be dismissed early due to inclement weather.

Transportation-
Tardies will be excused for bus riders on inclement weather days if a school bus is running late. Breakfast will be offered to all late-arriving students on inclement weather days.
If WHPS makes the decision to close early, school bus routes will operate their normal routes just at the earlier times.

District Communications-
Western Heights Public Schools will share official inclement weather information through:
The WHPS official website ( westernheights.k12.ok.us )
WHPS official social media pages

Local news stations-
Please be cautious of school closing notifications that are AI-generated or shared from unofficial sources. Families should rely only on information posted by Western Heights Public Schools through official channels.

Families-
Parents and guardians should always use their own judgment when deciding whether it is safe to send their student to school during inclement weather.
Families are encouraged to have a contingency plan in place for early dismissals or unexpected school closures.

Student Safety Reminder-
All of Western Heights Public Schools follow established safety procedures for early checkouts. Students will only be released to a parent or guardian listed in the student’s Infinite Campus contact information.
