Early Dismissal
The following regulation has been established to provide an orderly school closing when the safety of students is threatened as the result of inclement weather or other emergency. The main purpose is to ensure that elementary pupils will be able to be dismissed at the normal dismissal time.
The Superintendent of Schools, or designated representative, is responsible for making the decision to close school early.
Individual schools and the "School's Out" Program Director will be notified of an early school closing by the central administration, either via use of the district administrative telephone chain, or by direct calls to the schools.
Parents are permitted to come to school for their children at any time during early dismissal procedures.
