2-Hour Delayed Start

Due to the inclement weather, Olathe Public Schools will follow a Two-Hour Delayed Start on March 5, 2025. We will be following “Plan C” where all district staff report to work two hours later than their typical start time (unless otherwise noted by their supervisors), and all school start times and morning bus pick-up times will be delayed by two hours. Please keep in mind that the Stopfinder bus app will not reflect the two-hour delay. Below please find an outline of school hours during a delayed start. Two-Hour Delayed Start – School Hours High School, Olathe Transition Support Program (OTSP), Prairie Learning Center: 9:40 a.m.-2:40 p.m. Middle School: 10:20 a.m.-3:20 p.m. Elementary School: 10:55 a.m.-3:55 p.m.; Morning Early Childhood classes are canceled; Afternoon Early Childhood classes attend as regularly scheduled. Heartland Early Childhood Center: 10:20 a.m.-3:20 p.m.; Morning Early Childhood classes are canceled; Afternoon Early Childhood classes attend as regularly scheduled; Full day Head Start classes follow the delayed start schedule. Harmony Early Childhood Center: 10:55 a.m.-3:55 p.m.; Morning Early Childhood classes are canceled; Afternoon Early Childhood classes attend as regularly scheduled; Full day Head Start classes follow the delayed start schedule. Other Important Delayed Start Information: Breakfast service will not be provided on delayed start days due to arrival times being so close to lunch. Lunch will be the only meal provided on delayed start days and lunch service will be provided as close to the normal time as possible. For many of our students, lunch may be the only meal they receive that day. A two-hour delayed start ensures that our students receive a meal, whereas a full school day cancelation would prevent students from receiving their regularly scheduled meal service. All student trips leaving prior to noon are canceled. All before-school athletics/activities practices are canceled. Decisions on after-school athletics and activities will be made later in the day. JCPRD daycare will be delayed two hours in the morning (9-11 a.m.) and will follow regular afternoon hours at buildings where JCPRD is offered. Children must be enrolled in JCPRD to participate. Parochial and work site shuttles scheduled prior to noon are canceled (i.e. CREWS, OTSP) Transportation for partner schools is delayed by two hours (Lake Mary, KSD, etc.) View a detailed overview of Inclement Weather Plan C and follow our social media pages on Facebook and Twitter. If inclement weather continues, additional school closure information will be provided. Stay safe and warm!
