IMPORTANT:

EMERGENCY EARLY DISMISSAL:

Does your child know what to do in case school is closed early?  School could be closed early due to a power outage, a loss of water supply, weather related problems, or other unexpected problems. You must have a plan ahead of time. Do not include in your plan that your child will call you. We have only two phone lines and we need to keep one open to deal with the problem that is causing the early dismissal. If you believe that you must be called, you must call and discuss the situation with Mr. Smith. If your child does not know what to do, then we will be forced to make arrangements as we deem the most appropriate. In some cases, that would mean keeping the child at school (if that is safe). In other cases, the child might be taken to another location. Please plan ahead, and let us know your plan.
