Emergency School Closings
|
| Closing school due to inclement weather or other emergencies is always done with the safety of the children in mind. There are four general methods of closing school: |
| 1. Cancellation of school for the day at 6:00 am. |
| 2. Delaying the start of school for two hours (North Middle School at 9:20, High School at 9:50 and elementary schools at 10:50). Lunch will be served at each school. Morning 4K and Early Childhood classes will be canceled. |
| 3. Adjusting the dismissal time at each school due to inclement weather will be based on the weather emergency situation. Afternoon 4K and Early Childhood classes will be canceled. |
| 4. A special emergency closing of school which assumes "that your child is to go home unless we have been notified prior to that day of an alternate emergency destination. Alternate destinations for bus students must be on the regular bus route." (Elementary Parent Handbook.) Parents are asked to discuss alternate plans with their children. |
| Each method is designed to especially protect the youngest and most vulnerable children and provide them with appropriate supervision. No one method of school closing is best for all circumstances. Parents know their children and their circumstances best. You are encouraged to act to protect your child according to your individual situation. The school will make every effort to cooperate with your decision during snowstorms or weather related emergencies. If you have any questions, please contact your building principal. |
| Local radio and TV stations will be notified of our decision to close school in time for the 6:00 - 6:15 a.m. news broadcast. | |
