Cancellation of school in Marshfield is based on existing circumstances (STREET CONDITIONS, UNPLOWED SCHOOL YARDS, BUILDING PROBLEMS), as well as weather forecasts at 5:00 a.m. on the day of cancellation.  Cancellation of school the previous evening is based upon projected conditions for the next day.  If school is closed or dismissed early due to inclement weather, ALL after school programs and activities will be cancelled. 

Depending on weather and road conditions, the Marshfield Public Schools may exercise the option of a delayed opening.  The delay would be for one or two hours.  Sidewalks may NOT be cleared in the event of a delayed opening. 

Preschool will be cancelled with both a one or two-hour delayed opening.  Early morning day care, provided by the Boys & Girls Club, will follow Marshfield Public Schools with a one or two-hour delayed opening.

Parents are urged to use their discretion in sending their children to school in adverse weather.  Parents should be prepared with contingency plans if their children are dismissed early because of snow, flooding, or other emergencies.  Dismissals are based on changing weather conditions as monitored throughout the day.

All parents/guardians will be notified of school cancellation and/or delayed using our Thrillshare communication system. However, we will still continue to announce these messages over radio and TV stations.  Radio and TV stations carrying the Marshfield no school or dismissal announcements are:

Please do not call the police station, the fire station, the radio stations, or the school offices for no school announcements.  Listen to one of the radio/TV stations listed above for the public closings or delays.
