Prepare for Cold and Snow

Reminder - dress for winter weather:  Children go out for recess and fresh air every day at our schools.  Please be certain your child arrives at school prepared with hats, gloves, boots, coats and an extra change of clothes in his or her backpack.  If the wind chill factor presents concern for student safety, staff will make the determination to keep children inside.

School Closures:  Anouncements will be made between 6 a.m. and 8 a.m. if schools across the Coeur d'Alene school District will be closed due to weather-related safety concerns.  Please watch for closure information on the district's main page of the website.  KREM 2, KXLY 4, KHQ 6 and radio stations KVNI 1080 and K102 will broadcast/stream school closures. 

The district's hotline will provide regular updates on the status of school closures, and is a very efficient way, in partnership with the District's Web site, to check the status of closures. The CDA Schools Snow Hotline is 208.667.0784.

Parent Reminder: Talk about Stranger Danger Tips

It's always a good idea for parents to review "stranger danger" tips with their children.  Below are a few tips parents can discuss with their children.
Reminders to Children:
  • Always tell your parents where you are going.
  • Try not to walk anywhere alone. Walk with a friend.
  • Don’t take shortcuts through the woods, a back street or empty lot.
  • Bad people do not always look mean or scary.
  • Do not get close to strangers. Make sure you have room to run.
  • Don’t tell your name or address to a stranger.
  • Never go with a stranger to help look for a lost pet or play a game.
  • Never get into a car with anyone you don’t know.
  • If a stranger bothers you, run away and ask an adult for help.
  • Know safe places you can go – a police or fire station, the library, a store or a friend’s house.
  • If a stranger follows you or grabs for you, yell loud!  Shout, “I don’t know you!”  Fight back and make as much noise as you can.
  • If anyone touches you in a bad way, say, “NO!”  Get away and tell an adult you trust.  Keep telling until someone listens.
  • Tell your parents about places you don’t feel safe.
  • Talk to your parents and come up with a secret code word. Never go with anyone unless they know the secret code word.
If your children are old enough to stay home alone, review these tips:
  • Know how and when to call 911.
  • Never open the door to a stranger.
  • Never tell anyone on the phone you are home alone.
  • Never tell any callers your name, number or address.
  •  Hang up right away if you do not like what someone is saying on the phone.
