* The Kansas City Public Schools (KCPS) website: The official KCPS website will have a calendar showing school closures for the entire district. Look for a section on school calendars or news/announcements.
* The school's individual website (if it has one): Some schools have their own websites separate from the district's main site. If Banneker Elementary has its own site, it might have its own calendar or announcements.
* KCPS social media: Check the official KCPS social media accounts (Facebook, Twitter, etc.) for announcements about school closures.
* Local news: Local news stations often report school closings due to weather or other emergencies.
* Contact the school directly: Call the school's main phone number. This is the most reliable method, but may not be possible outside of school hours.
