RE: 2020-2021 INCLEMENT WEATHER PROCEDURES

Below please find information regarding INCLEMENT WEATHER PROCEDURES for the 2020-2021 school year. This will be announced by the local media and the Communicate System.

WHEN SCHOOLS ARE CLOSED FOR STUDENTS FOR A FULL DAY, WE MAY TRANSITION TO A WEATHER-RELATED REMOTE LEARNING DAY:

 Weather-related remote learning:

All 261-day employees are to report to work on time.

Parents/students should check Schoology for assignments or conferences at or before the normal start time of their school day.

Students with IEPs do not report on these days and should transition to remote learning.

The following employees should report to their work location:

• 261-day employees

• All custodians

• All bus drivers

• All cooks

• All secretaries/clerks

•  All building level administrators

• Teachers, aides, counselors and other school-based staff who can work from home may work from home if they have the capability to do so (for teachers/aides this includes live conferencing). If these staff cannot achieve this from home, then they must report to school to deliver their remote instruction or fulfill their work day.

• This is a contract day that will not be made up.

Snow day:

All school-based and non-261-day employees stay home. There will be no remote learning for students.

All 261-day employees are to report to work on time.

Other essential staff may be asked to report as directed by their building administrator or the directors of child nutrition, transportation or maintenance, with the permission of the Superintendent of Schools.

This day will be made up.

WHEN SCHOOLS ARE OPEN FOR STUDENTS ON A DELAY OR EARLY DISMISSAL – FOR ALL STUDENTS PRE-K THROUGH 12 AND ADULT VOCATIONAL CLASSES:

Two-hour delay:

WHEN SCHOOLS ARE OPENING TWO HOURS LATE:
All employees are to report to work at their regularly scheduled time. If they run into a problem (i.e. hazardous roads, etc.), they should call their Immediate Supervisor/Principal and advise them of their particular situation.

All morning vocational classes will be canceled. Announcements regarding changes in bus schedules and routes will be made by 8:00 a.m.

Early dismissal:

WHEN SCHOOLS ARE CLOSED EARLY:

All Vocational, Extra-Curricular activities, and Community Education classes scheduled for that afternoon or evening will be canceled. News media will be notified of early dismissal as soon as decisions are made in order that announcements can be made by noon.

In the event of certain weather conditions or other circumstances beyond the control of the school district, the Superintendent of Schools may provide alternative work schedules for employees and may require certain departments or working locations to report to work as deemed necessary for the efficient operation of the school system.
