School Closings
The most common reason for closing school is because of snow. These closings are county-wide and are reported on local television and radio stations.
Media reports generally begin at 6:00 AM for all-day closures and at 11:00 AM for early closings. When school opens late, the buses will run.
Be sure to have a plan, and a back-up for your child in the case of early closings.

Absences and Late Arrivals
If your child will be out of school for a day or longer, please call the school to report his or her absence. For your convenience, an answering machine is on during the week from 4:00 PM to 8:00 AM, and 24 hours a day on the weekend. Please leave the following information: child's name, child's teacher, date of and reason for absence. If your child arrives late (after 9:25 am) or must leave early, the child must be signed in or out of the office by an adult listed on the child's emergency card.
