Powered by NOAA / National Weather ServiceWounded Knee District School is a school in Manderson, South Dakota, part of Wounded Knee District School. The forecast above uses the school's own coordinates, so it reflects conditions at this campus rather than an average across the wider area.
Closure decisions for Wounded Knee District School are almost always made at the district level. If Wounded Knee District School closes, this school closes with it — so the district-wide forecast is usually the number that matters (see the Wounded Knee District School forecast).
Rural districts run the longest bus routes over the least-treated roads, so they typically close at lower snowfall totals than nearby urban districts — often on forecasts that would leave a city district open.
South Dakota averages about 40 inches of snow per year. South Dakota schools close for blizzard warnings and ground blizzard conditions. Western SD (Black Hills) gets more snow but closes less often.
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 Wounded Knee District School before acting on it.
