Superintendent's Message
Grass Lake Community Schools Family,
As we approach the colder months, we want to remind you of our procedures for notifying families about inclement weather that may impact school operations, including closures, delays, or early dismissals.
The safety of our students and staff is always our top priority. In the event of inclement weather, our team carefully monitors weather conditions and works closely with local authorities to make decisions about school schedules.
Notification Process
If changes to the school schedule are necessary, we will inform families as soon as possible using the following methods:
- Automated Calls — Families will receive a phone call from the school district. Please ensure your contact information is up-to-date in our records.
- Email Communication — An email will be sent to all parents and guardians with detailed information.
- Website — Updates will be posted on the school website
- Social Media — Follow us on Facebook and X/Twitter for the latest updates.
- Local Media — We will notify local TV and radio stations to broadcast school closure or delay information. FYI- the channels are not always updated in real time so I would not depend on these avenues for your information.
Key Considerations
- Timing of Decisions: Decisions regarding closures or delays will typically be made by 5:30am to allow families time to plan. When information is available the night before, we will take this into consideration and communicate accordingly.
- After-School Activities: Updates about extracurricular activities and events will be shared separately if needed. No Elementary or Middle School events will take place on an inclement weather day. High School athletics/events status will be announced later that day with a goal of communicating by noon.
- Emergency Dismissals: If weather conditions worsen during the school day, we may need to dismiss students early. Please ensure your child knows their emergency dismissal plan.
We encourage all families to review their own plans for childcare, transportation, and other arrangements in the event of weather-related schedule changes. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we work together to ensure the safety and well-being of our school community.
With Warrior Pride,
Dr. Nicholas Angel- Superintendent

The Grass Lake Community Schools will have a bond proposal on the ballot in May 2026. This proposal is designed to invest in our schools, facilities, and learning environments to support students and staff today and into the future. We are very proud of the work that has gone into this Bond program (over a year and a half of planning) with projects to support our youngest Warriors at George Long Elementary, our emerging learners at the Middle School and our oldest Warriors at the High School. In addition, we will be able to address significant infrastructure challenges, create safer vestibules to our buildings and modernize our learning spaces.
We encourage all parents to stay informed and participate in the upcoming election. Here’s how you can learn more:
