With the potential for severe weather later today, here are a few reminders regarding storms:
The safety of our students is our priority. All buildings have designated areas and procedures for students and staff during a tornado warning. Our staff and students have practiced these procedures and are familiar with them.
If a severe weather event occurs at dismissal time, we will keep the students in the building (as we have in the past) until we deem it safe to dismiss students. Should this occur, we will keep you informed via email, text and Facebook.
If you feel anxious about the storm and want to pick up your child early, please do so at least one hour prior to dismissal.
