While we hope for the best it is important to plan for school delays, closings and early dismissals. A School Messenger phone call will be made by the District Office on all days where there is a delayed opening, closing, or early closing. Please be sure that we have your most up-to-date phone number in our system so that you receive the automated phone calls. If you are unsure, please call the main office, 302-335-5039, to see which phone number we have listed for you to receive School Messenger calls.

 Below is a listing of other resources you can utilize to find out if Caesar Rodney School District will be closed due to inclement weather:

Please remember if your child is absent a note from a parent or doctor must be sent to school within 2 school days of the absence stating the reason for the absence. Please adhere to the following guidelines to determine whether or not your child should attend school if they are feeling under the weather.

• If they have a temperature over 100 degrees in the last 12-24 hours.  If you suspect that they may be sick please check their temperature with a thermometer before sending them to school.  If they have a fever it is not appropriate to send them to school, even if you give them Tylenol and their fever breaks.  They will still be contagious to other children and will also not be feeling well enough to learn.
• Vomiting or diarrhea in the last 12-24 hours. 
• An unexplained rash.
• Earache
• Red or crusty eyelids or drainage from eyes. 
• Headache, cough, sore throat, or congestion severe enough to interfere with attention to school work.
• Flare-ups of asthma, that would make it difficult to work in school.
