Free Printable Snow Day and Late Opening Card

2 pages · 3 cards to cut apart (no school, starts late, ends early), what stays the same, a half page for parents

For any other change at school: Change of Plans Card

Three cards for a day the weather changes: no school today with a home plan, school starts late with the new time, and school ends early with who picks me up, plus what stays the same and a half page for parents. English and Spanish on the same page.

What you type and the pictures you add stay on your phone.

How to use it
  1. Print it before winter. When the weather changes the day, cut out the card for today: no school, a late start or an early pickup.
  2. Fill it in: the home plan, the new start time, or who picks your child up and when. Check what stays the same.
  3. Tell your child the night before if it might happen, and again in the morning. Keep the card where they can see it all day.

Why it helps

A snow day or a late start changes the whole day, often with little warning. A card that shows what is different, and what stays the same, helps a child know what comes next.
