The winter season is here. The following information is very important regarding school cancellations. If schools are to be cancelled, parents will be notified by radio announcements on local stations. In cases where a decision cannot be reached by 7 a.m., a one hour delay will be announced. A further announcement indicating the starting time, or cancellation, will take place by 8 a.m. Under some circumstances, it may be necessary to close schools during the school day. Parents are asked to make the necessary arrangements for your son or daughter should this type of closure occur.
If extreme weather conditions might occur unexpectedly, students may be required to remain at school beyond their normal dismissal time unless picked up by a parent or designate. Announcements will be made on all radio stations if this occurs.
