SCHOOL DELAYS & CLOSINGS

Student safety is the prime consideration in making a decision relating to school delays or school closings.  Normally, one of three decisions is made.  The first may be a late start. In this case, a two-hour school delay is our standard procedure.  On these ‘late start’ days there will be no morning Early Childhood, 4-year old kindergarten, or Head Start programs.  The second decision we may take is to close school for the day.  The third decision is an early release from school, normally at 1:00 p.m.

We realize that parents have to make childcare arrangements for the day.  Therefore, we will try to make school delay or closing decisions by 6:00 a.m. if possible.

If a decision is made to close school for the day or to close school early due to inclement weather, all after school practices and all evening activities and/or events will be cancelled.
