Emergency School Closing - Full Day:
It may be necessary to close school because of
inclement weather or a building emergency before
the school day begins. Phone calls will not be
made to you in the morning.
Morning Delayed Opening:
In an attempt to avoid closing school for the
entire school day due to early morning problems
we utilize the Delayed School Opening. When this
decision is made, it is your responsibility to
do the following:
1) Listen for the radio television announcements
but please keep in mind that at times these delayed
openings may become school closings.
2) Stay tuned to the radio & television when
we say that we are delaying the opening of school
for possible updates.
3. The success of this plan requires that you
listen to your radio and television and/or call
the SCS Information Line during that period of
time.
Emergency CAN School-Wide Dismissal
In the event weather becomes inclement or there
is a school-wide emergency closing during the
school day, our emergency dismissal procedure
is as follows:
• SCS will notify the bus companies, radio
& TV stations, etc.
• Our new CAN emergency phone system will
then begin a telephone relay for the youngest
child in school. Please refer to the detailed
information provided by our PTA. NO CHILD WILL
BE RELEASED FROM SCHOOL UNLESS CONTACT IS MADE
WITH SOMEONE! Tape machines do not count.
• Every child will then be dismissed according
to the instructions on the "SCS Emergency
CAN School-Wide Dismissal Procedure" form.
(Every family should have the yellow parent copy.)
• Buses will run as usual.
• Car students will be brought to the gym
for you to pick up.
• After the buses leave, parents, baby-sitters
etc. may enter the building via the front door
and report to the gym to pick up the children.
Administrators & teachers will be present
to insure that the students go home with the designated
person.
NO STUDENTS WILL BE RELEASED BEFORE THE STATED
DISMISSAL TIME.
LET'S BE PREPARED: If the weather looks intimidating
in the morning, it is up to you to review with
your child(ren) the established emergency procedure
plan before they get to school. The school will
enforce the, plan you have written for your child(ren).
We realize that during such emergencies you are
very concerned about your child, but please keep
in mind that as administrators we are responsible
for the well being of your child and 528 others.
Please adhere to our policies to ensure the safety
of all. Please keep this paper handy for reference
during the school year.
