Emergency Closing of School
 |
Our Snow Code
is 942. The decision to close school is usually made
by 6:30 AM and is announced on KYW-1060 (AM radio). A chain
call from each homeroom parent will begin as soon as a decision
is made. Students may only be dismissed with the adult designated
by their parent on the Emergency Closing Info Sheet.
|
Delayed openings will also be announced on the radio. One hour delays
(school begins at 9:00 AM); two hour delays (10:00 AM). Do not send
children to school earlier than 30 minutes before delayed openings.
(PP S315)
Student Dismissal
- Students are dismissed in a silent, orderly manner.
- Students should never be placed in the position of not following
school regulations.
- Prompt attention to dismissal time and manner are appreciated.
- Parents of PreK students should pick up their child at the PreK
school yard area. They should not enter the school. Details on
arrival and dismissal of PreK students will be issued separately.
- Parents who are picking up their child in Grades K-8 should
follow the directions given for proper safety.
Early Dismissals
Permission for emergency doctor and dentist appointments
should be requested in writing and presented to the Principal and
the homeroom teacher. For your child’s safety, requests for
changes in dismissal or transportation must be IN WRITING (no phone
calls, please!) Parents must sign in at the office to pick up their
child for early dismissals. Once the student arrives at school,
they may not leave school grounds without explicit permission of
the Principal.
Emergency Closing Information
Emergency forms are distributed in September.
Please list adults who live within close proximity to school and
have transportation available. Parents will always be notified first.
Please advise your children whom you have listed on the form.
