Inclement Weather

 

I am happy to announce that our Board voted that when we have to cancel school due to serve weather, it will not be a virtual learning day. Instead, school will be closed for the day. For your reference, our handbook states,

“In the case of severe weather (e.g., major snowstorm, ice storm, dangerous wind chills, heavy fog), the principal will notify local radio and TV stations regarding the decision to close school or delay its opening. A phone message will also be sent out to each family through our School Messenger calling system.”

Life Assistance Program

 

As I mentioned in my email on Tuesday, NHA’s Life Assistance Program is available for staff. See below for more information.
