Snow Policies

Cancellations/Delays:

In the event of stormy weather, school cancellations/delays will be announced on the local radio stations including 104.5 WXLO. In addition, you may also see the cancellations/delays broadcast on TV (Channels 4,5 & 7). If there is a NO SCHOOL DAY OR A DELAY announcement for the Worcester Public Schools, this applies to our school as well.
 

Before School Program:

On days when a delayed opening is announced, the before-school program will open one hour prior to the announced school opening.  We ask though, that you do not bring children in any earlier than one hour prior to opening.
 

Early Dismissal:

Our policy regarding early dismissal needs to be changed!  Please read carefully.

Usually our school is not effected by early dismissal as our school is on the last bus tier and by the time the buses arrive it is 3:00PM anyway.  However, in the past they started dismissing before the snow even started.  Therefore, an “early dismissal” announcement on the radio stations means that you should plan for your child’s early arrival at home. We will no longer be able to hold the buses here until 3:10PM.  THIS POLICY EFFECTS BUS CHILDREN ONLY.  We will make a Connect-Ed phone call alerting you to the announcement.

Other:

If at any time during wintry weather you wish to pick up your child/children early please feel free to do so by coming directly to the Main Office.  From there we will call your child/children for dismissal. You do not need to call the school prior to picking up your child on days of severe weather.

After School Program:

When it is snowing during the school day, or if snow is forecast for afternoon or evening, the After School Program MAY be canceled or closed early. Listen to WSRS 96.1 or WXLO 104.5 for announcements. We ask that parents pick up children before 5:15pm when there are dangerous weather conditions. Afterschool phone # 753-5089.

Emergency Cards:

We’d like to take this opportunity to remind parents that if any corrections on emergency cards need to be made please send a note to the Main Office. These emergency numbers become increasingly important during the winter months.
