Student/Parent Handbook- Inclement Weather
It may become necessary to close school, delay opening, or dismiss early because of inclement weather or some other uncontrollable event. These announcements will be made over The River 95.3 FM, 1450 AM, NBC4, and Gradelink. An emergency announcement email and text alert will also be sent out via Gradelink, so it is imperative that your phone number and email address on file is current, and that your account is activated. On delayed opening days, Before School Care is not provided. The doors will open at 10 a.m., and students are not allowed in the school until then. This provides time for teachers and staff to arrive safely during inclement weather.
❄️ Coats, hats, scarves, gloves, oh my!
Please make sure your children come to school with a warm coat. Jackets, windbreakers, hoodies, etc. are not warm enough as we head into winter months with colder temperatures and winds. Hats, gloves, and scarves are also recommended, but a coat is a requirement. If your child does not have proper winter attire, they will not be able to participate in recess with the rest of the class.
