Early Closings
In the event we need to close school once classes have begun, an emergency voice message &
email will be sent to all parents. The message will give details on the reason for closing, and
instructions on getting your child. If such a message is sent, your child must be picked up as soon
as possible. This is for the safety of everyone. You may pick up your child early if you are
concerned about weather or road conditions.
