The decision to cancel
the regular school day program usually is made no later than
6:00 AM, if at all possible. Only in unusually severe
weather conditions is a decision made the night before.
Although rare, the
decision to send students home after the school day has
begun may be necessary. A decision to close school early
will not be made after 11:00 AM.
Elementary school
students will be returned to their school if the bus driver
determines that they cannot be left at home. Students
needing to remain at school for an extended period of time
will be transferred to a Kids & Company site.
Students who are kept
home by parents because of unusual or hazardous road
conditions in their area will have their absences excused.
However, those absences are still counted in the attendance
policy.
When necessary to close
an individual school because of electrical, plumbing, or
other problems related only to that building, it will be
announced on radio and TV stations.
Kids and Company will
offer child care at Rolland-Warner Middle School for
children 2½ through 12 years of age on days when school
buildings are closed for the entire day due to
weather-related conditions.
When school is
cancelled, Enrichment classes and children’s recreation
league offerings also are cancelled.
Some after-school
activities, are not automatically cancelled when
school is closed for the day.
Athletic practices that
are still held during school closings are optional. Separate
decisions are made on these activities, and the information
is available after 1:00 pm on the District’s website (www.lapeerschools.org),
on LCS-TV (the District’s Charter cable access Channel 99)
and on local radio and TV stations. |
