Reminder About Inclement Weather Closing & Cancellation Communication

Since we are in the thick of the winter season, here’s a friendly reminder about how the Agency will be communicating about inclement weather office closings and professional development cancellations. We have changed our way of communicating closings and cancelations to make sure the information is communicated correctly, consistently and in a timely manner. We will no longer broadcast closings via TV and radio stations, but through the following ways:

Website
We will post closing/cancellation information on the front page of the Agency’s website (www.aea11.k12.ia.us) at the top of the Latest News section.

Cancellation Hotline
We will record closing information on a “cancellation hotline” at (515) 270-0405/(800) 255-0405 ext. 14041. When you call in, you will hear a recorded message that says the date and offices/classes that have been closed/canceled. If there are no closings/cancellations, the message will reflect that.

Social Media
We will post closing/cancellation information on the Agency’s Facebook & Twitter accounts at www.facebook.com/heartlandaea & twitter.com/HeartlandAEA.
