* All MS/US students are expected to leave campus at the end of the school day unless they are involved in organized, supervised activities. Middle School students must be off campus by 4:00 PM unless they are participating in a subject lab, school-organized after school activity, meeting with a teacher, or enrolled in After Care. 

** Students in Grades 11-12 have six periods on many days.

In the event of inclement weather, WIS will make its own decision regarding a closure or delay. There will not be a specific announcement about WIS on local radio or TV stations. WIS sends email and text alerts, and posts delay/closure information on the website home page, typically before 6:00 AM.

In the event of a two-hour delay, beginning-of-the-day schedules shift by two hours. Administrative staff are expected to report to school by 10:00 AM on snow delay days; exceptions must be approved by the department manager. Unless otherwise specified, all standard dismissal times remain unchanged on delayed-opening days.

Half-day professional days take place throughout the year and are indicated on the one-page summary calendar as well as the website calendar. Unless otherwise noted, Upper School dismissal is at 11:30 AM. Middle School dismissal is at 11:50 PM. Primary School dismissal is between 11:40 AM-12:00 PM.

If the school decides an unplanned early closure is necessary, an email is sent to all parents and an announcement is placed on the WIS website (parents may also sign up to receive a text alert). Detailed information regarding student pick-up and after school programs is included in the email.

If your Primary School child will be absent, please contact Tony Fletcher at the front desk (tony.fletcher@wis.edu or 202.243.1700) before 9:00 AM; if your child is sick, please also inform the Primary School Nurse Jaime Zike (202.243.1709 or jaime.zike@wis.edu).
