Weather Policy

The Troop policy regarding inclement weather is to follow the decision of the Bellevue Public School District. 

• •   If Bellevue closes schools or cancels afternoon activities due to inclement weather, then our Troop will also do the same. 

  •   If Bellevue continues to hold after school functions, PTO meetings, sporting events and does not cancel, we will not cancel.   

So, if you have a question, check your TV or log onto the internet and check the local stations. They are usually the first ones notified about event closures.  If you see that activities are still going on and you are uncomfortable with the weather conditions, then you need to individually decide whether you want to come or not.  

For your information, here is the current Bellevue Public Schools Policy: 

In case of hazardous, emergency, or special conditions, the Superintendent may alter district and/or transportation schedules as appropriate to the particular condition.  Such alterations may include closure of all schools; closure of selected schools, programs, or grade levels; or early dismissal of students.

The closing of schools because of extremely bad weather or other severe emergencies will be announced on all radio and television stations in the area.  Whenever possible such announcements will be made the evening before or in the very early morning hours.

In the case of an emergency which might require the closing of school on very short notice and the sending of children home, ample warning of dismissal will be given so as to allow children to take their usual route and method of transportation home.  In no case would students be released without parent/public notification.

Normal school hours will be followed during a tornado watch.  In most cases, children will not be sent home when severe storms occur or when tornado warnings are received.  They will be released from school only after the all-clear signal or if there appears to be sufficient time for them to reach home before a storm hits.  Students will be released during severe storms or tornado warnings to parents only, unless there is authorization from the student’s parents for other arrangements.
