Closing school due to inclement weather is one of the most difficult decisions a head of school makes.  He has to consider the educational needs of the students, family childcare arrangements, and transportation safety. Before making the decision, the head of school attempts to gather the most reliable information possible for the entire metro area. He is in contact with other private school and public district supervisors and evaluates the amount of snowfall, current road conditions, potential for icing, temperature, timing and duration of the storm, and the safety of student and parent drivers.  The decision to cancel school is made as early as possible and will be posted on the home page of the website and reported on local television and radio stations.

Should the need arise, the decision to dismiss early will be made no later than noon. Parents will receive an email informing parents of the early dismissal time. This information will also be posted on the website. Students will be allowed to call parents if necessary.  Parents concerned about deteriorating road conditions may pick up students at any time during the day.
