SCHOOL CLOSURES

1. Should we get snow in vast amounts this winter and if some morning you are not sure if we will be opening due to snow, please take the following actions:

a. Do NOT assume that we will close if any or all of the local government schools or other private schools close. Each school makes its own determination. We will attempt to stay open as much as possible. We are here to provide your student a valuable education and we are committed to doing that every day we can physically open the school and provide a safe environment.

b. Please check the school website for the latest news. We will make a decision by 7:00 am and get that up as quickly as possible.

c. Should we close, Mr. Garfield will also contact radio stations KRPL 1400AM and 106FM to ask them to announce our closing (no doubt along with many other schools!).

d. If there is no notice on our website and/or the radio, you may safely assume we will be open. Nevertheless, if you determine that it would not be safe to bring your child, please remain at home. We will help your child make up any missed work.

2. We also realize that, although we may be open, bad weather may prevent some of our long-distance families from getting in to school. If that becomes the case, we will do our best to help the kids make up any missed work.

SNOW DRIVING TIPS

1. When driving into either of the Logos parking lots on snow/ice-covered roads, please pull forward as far and as quickly as possible before stopping. This helps others behind you by not having to stop on the hill, and then having to slide back down. This is true for both Baker and A street lots.

2. Be sure to signal adequately when turning off of A street into our gym parking lot – the potential for rear-end collisions there is high at any time.

Thank you for your cooperation with these adjustments we need to make for winter. May God grant us all a safe and productive winter.

Tom Garfield, Superintendent
