The
responsibility for school closings has been
delegated to the superintendent by the Board
of Education. If a school day is to be cancelled
because of weather conditions or other emergencies,
the stations listed below will be notified
by 6:30 a.m. whenever possible.
Although
it will most likely never happen due to
the age of our students, the stations will
be notified as soon as possible if school
is to be dismissed early in the day, and
they will be asked to repeat the announcement
several times. Such an announcement means
that the closing involves all District 108
schools. An individual building will not
be named unless the emergency affects only
that particular school. While the schools
have a responsibility toward your children,
you also have a responsibility toward them.
If you feel it is too cold or hazardous
for your child to walk to school, you have
a responsibility to provide transportation
for him. If that is not possible, you must
decide whether or not to keep your child
home. If you are concerned about the weather
conditions that develop after classes begin,
you are welcome to pick up your child at
school even though the school remains open.
