Severe
Weather Policy & Procedures
In accordance with Board of
Education Policy and Administrative
Guidelines, the following procedures
will be followed for severe weather:
The National Weather Service
shall be the official source of
information pertaining to decisions
made by the school district.
During a severe weather WATCH,
students will remain at school and will
be dismissed at the end of the day as
usual.
During a Severe Weather Warning,
students will be moved immediately to
the “safe” area as determined by the
individual building severe weather
plan.
If a Warning is in effect at the time
of normal dismissal, students will
remain at school until the National
Weather Service removes the
Warning.
All extra-curricular and after school
activities, including practices and
contests at home and away will be
suspended if a Watch is in effect at
dismissal time, or goes into effect
during the time of activity. Exceptions
may be made in unique circumstances
when activities cannot be rescheduled.
In the event a WARNING is issued
during after school activity, students
will move immediately to the “safe”
area as determined by their building
plan. Students will not be dismissed
until the “all clear” is given.
