How Snow Day Calculator is made

Each guide on Snow Day Calculator starts from a real task and is written to go with the Snow day calculator. Software assistance is part of our design and writing process.

Sources on this site

6 of the 6 guides link to outside sources. The links point to: cdschools.org, census.gov, mprnews.org, pa.gov, stoughton.k12.wi.us, weather.gov, wwps.org. Time-sensitive facts should be checked against those sources before they affect your plans, because a publication date does not mean we monitor them continuously.
