Severe Weather Procedures
Argyle ISD officials and campuses regularly monitor storms in the area, the National Weather Service, and local TV and radio stations for any potential alerts or risks. Argyle ISD officials receive regular updates and alerts from the Denton County Office of Emergency Management (OEM) and the National Weather Service.
In the event severe weather is approaching during the school day, the district will account for students and staff in secure locations and then communicate updates to parents. The district requests parents to not come to school buildings in the middle of a storm to pick up their children. Please let school officials effectively respond during a weather emergency and follow Argyle ISD's communication outlets for updates and announcements (Facebook, Twitter, and School Messenger)
Notifications:
Argyle ISD will send alerts and updates via multiple communications tools. The district will post to Facebook, Twitter, School Messenger, and the district website to keep parents, students and staff informed of weather-related alerts.
Social Media Reminder: False reports of school closings, accidents or injuries by students will not be tolerated, nor will inappropriate language or references that violate the Student Code of Conduct.
