Inclement Weather Planning
For West ISD, the decision to delay to close school is based on a number of variables including:

• Actual and projected snowfall
• Icing and wind-chill factors
• Ability of the bus fleet to transport students to the campuses
• Ability of teachers, staff, and bus drivers to drive to the campuses (specifically those who live outside the district)
• Assessment of city street and road conditions (specifically in the rural areas of the district)
• Status of power and heat to the campuses

School Canceled for Monday, January 26, 2026
In reviewing the most current weather reports and checking the current and future road conditions, West ISD will now move from the two-hour delay to a full-day school closure period for Monday, January 26, 2026. Please note this school closure period includes all extracurricular activities, games, and practices scheduled for Monday, January 26, 2026.

In regards to the district's arrival time and school day plan for Tuesday, January 27, 2026, the district will let everyone know the next steps via another Parent Square tomorrow, Monday, January 26, 2026.
