School Closings & Notifications

Several factors guide our decision whether or not to close school. First and foremost is the safety of students and staff. You can review the district's winter and severe weather closing process by clicking here. 

We make every effort to cancel school no later than 5:30 am to give families as much time as possible to make arrangements for the day. Once the decision has been made to cancel school, we notify parents by phone and email using our parent notification system.

School closings are posted on the district's website, Facebook page and Twitter account (@HowellMISchools). Closings are also announced via the district's mass notification system, on WHMI 93.5, WJBK Fox 2, WDIV Local 4, WILX Channel 10, and WXYZ Channel 7.
