It's important for parents NOT to call the
Transportation Department about school closings, as this
ties up the phone lines and can prevent emergency calls
from coming in.
Instead, parents can call the individual school emergency
and closing hotlines. In making the decision to close schools, the
Superintendent may consider many factors, including the
following, which relate to the safety and health of
children:
1. weather conditions, both existing and predicted;
2. driving, traffic, and parking conditions affecting
public and private transportation facilities;
3. actual occurrence or imminent possibility of any
emergency condition that would make the operation of
schools difficult or dangerous; and
4. inability of teaching personnel to report for
duty, which might result in inadequate supervision of
students
Student Release:
Throughout the school year students may need to be
released from school early due to illness, family
emergencies, among other things. The school district has
compiled some helpful reminders and guidelines for
parents in this regard.
· Parents are urged to make appointments with
physicians, dentists, special tutors, etc., after school
hours. If a release is necessary, parents should make
note of the date, time and reason for the release.
Children cannot be excused without advance written
request by a parent/guardian, and must be released in care
of parent/guardian, unless otherwise noted.
· No student may be released from school to anyone
other than the parent, guardian or child protective
services personnel and law enforcement officers pursuant
to law, unless the individual’s name seeking release of
the student appears on a list provided by the parent or
guardian.
· A student may be released to either parent unless a
custodial parent supplies the Superintendent of Schools
with a certified copy of a court order or divorce decree
to the contrary. |
