DELAYED STARTING TIME

A delay of two hours in the school’s time may be called to permit highway crews more time to clear and salt the roadways. These announcements will also be made over the radio and television stations listed above. An announcement calling for a delay in the starting time for school may be followed by a later announcement canceling classes for a day.

EARLY DISMISSAL FROM SCHOOL

If an early dismissal from school is required due to a forecast of extremely heavy snowfall or other unsafe conditions, this information will be broadcast as soon as possible over the radio and television stations listed above.

In case of an early dismissal, parents who are working or away from home during the day should instruct their children on what they are to do if they arrive home early from school. Arrangements should be made with an adult relative, friend, or neighbor to look after the children until the parents return home. During the winter season, parents are requested to be alert for the changing weather conditions that could cause a cancellation of classes, a delay in the start of school or an early dismissal, and to stay tuned to one of the stations listed for any such announcements.

On any day you feel uncertain whether or not school will be in session for the day, and no announcements have been made, we ask that you send the children to their bus stop at the usual time giving them specific instructions to wait for a reasonable period of time (20 minutes) before returning home should the bus not arrive.

It is also important to remind children to wait for the bus at a safe distance from the roadway since it is often difficult for drivers to see the road during bad weather.
