Closure decisions for Rulon M Ellis Elementary School are almost always made at the district level. If Pocatello District closes, this school closes with it — so the district-wide forecast is usually the number that matters (see the Pocatello District forecast).
Suburban districts depend heavily on bus fleets covering a wide area of residential streets, which are plowed after main roads. Side-street conditions at 5 AM often decide the call.
Idaho averages about 44 inches of snow per year. Mountain communities and valley districts have very different closure thresholds. Boise closes less often than northern Idaho.
We score the live forecast at this location against the factors that drive closure calls: snowfall total and intensity, when the heaviest accumulation lands relative to the morning commute, ice and freezing rain, wind chill, and how confident the forecast models are. You get a probability for a full closure, a two-hour delay, and an early dismissal.
This is an independent forecast, not an official announcement. Confirm any closure with Pocatello District before acting on it.
