Severe Weather Procedures

The principal’s office will be in constant contact with the Civil Defense by way of emergency weather radio so that early warning can be received concerning possible severe weather.  Students will be sent home only if we are sure there is sufficient time to get them there before severe weather strikes.  Parents are urged not to come to school for children if the severe weather is already in the immediate area since students would be safer at school than traveling under these conditions.

Disaster drills will be held regularly at the school so that the children will be familiar with safety areas and procedures.  If it becomes necessary to send students home the Director of Schools, not the school, will make that decision.  Parents are advised to listen to local radio stations in these situations.  Our Connect-Ed Phone System will make a call to your home phone and emergency contact number.  Please make plans with your children for early dismissal due to inclement weather.
