Dear Parents and Guardians: 

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY: The information posted on this web page provides the measures that will be utilized in the event of an Emergency School Closing.  

In the event of an inclement weather cancellation or a school closure due to utility problem, the Emergency Calling  System will call the primary home number on your emergency card.  If there is an emergency school closing during the day, ALL contact numbers (cell, work, etc.) will be called.  The system is capable of delivering up to 5,000 calls per minute and will generate a report if you have answered the phone so we will know within minutes if you have been contacted.  Since no system is “fail safe” we will continue to use the alternative weather procedures that are posted on our web site.

This year we will be using a new system which will help to alert parents when other school emergencies occur.  We hope to utilize the system for inclement weather closings, early emergency dismissals, bus route changes or late bus notification, power outages, event reminders and many more. Some families that have opted not to have their phone number listed on the Emergency Phone Service will find this posting helpful in finding alternative school closing sources.

In the event that children are dismissed early, the PTO Phone Chain and the new School Calling System will be utilized; however, we encourage you to check the sources listed on this page as well, as it is often difficult to reach everyone midday.

Names and numbers on Emergency Card Forms must be accurate and updated.  The PTO and the Emergency Phone System cannot call you if these numbers are not made available to us.
