CEDAR CITY — Monday’s snowstorm, which dumped several inches of snow on Cedar City and surrounding areas, has prompted Iron County School District officials to delay the start of the school day on Tuesday by two hours.

According to an urgent notification sent out at 9:30 p.m. Monday to parents and guardians via email, text message and the district’s Remind system, all district schools will have their start times delayed by two hours on Tuesday, with morning preschool and kindergarten classes being canceled.

“School start times and transportation schedules will run two hours later than normal,” the message says. “Please check secondary bell schedules for specific class period start times.”

The message also notes that any early morning practices or other before-school activities will not be held. Additionally, it notes that any field trips scheduled for departure at the beginning of the school day are also canceled.

The school day will end at the regularly scheduled time.

“If the weather continues to create unsafe conditions, more information will be communicated by 8 a.m. Tuesday morning,” the statement adds.
