After-School

2. If there is no announcement, the After School Program will run as scheduled from 2:30-6:00 p.m.

Early Closing Due to Weather
If school is in session and the weather causes a need to close school early, we will call in the announcement to the above-named TV and radio stations. We will also initiate classroom phone trees. In the event of early dismissal due to weather, parents are expected to pick up children at school. The After-School program will not operate on these days.

Please use your own judgment as to whether it is safe to transport your child to school. If school opens late and your roads are too dangerous to travel, your child’s absence will be excused for that day if you send a note on the day s/he returns to school.
