EMERGENCY EARLY DISMISSAL POLICY
In the event of an unforeseen emergency that necessitates the dismissal of students prior to scheduled dismissal, notification to parents/guardians and the community shall be made as follows:
· The District Web page – https://www.awrsd.org/
· District automated telephone notification system
· TV Stations: WBZ Ch 4, WCVB Ch 5 , WHDH Ch 7, WLVI Ch 56, Fox 25, NECN (Comcast Cable)
· Radio Stations: WRKO 680 am, WEIM 1280 am, WPKZ 105.3 fm, WTAG 580 am, WBZ 1030 am, 94.9 fm, WSRS 96.1 fm,
Typical emergency situations that may precipitate an early dismissal include, but are not necessarily limited to, severe weather conditions, fire, and absence of heat or water.
It is not possible for school officials to personally contact parents/guardians in the event of an early dismissal. Therefore parents/guardians, and particularly the parents of elementary age children, are strongly encouraged to develop a clear and well-defined plan with their children in case of an early dismissal. Since children will be dismissed to their homes, it is imperative that children know how to gain entry into their homes and how and whom to call once they are there.
