Delayed Opening:

In the event of a delayed opening, please stay tuned to the radio/TV station in case some change in the weather causes schools to be closed for the day.

A one-hour delay would mean all morning pro-grams would operate as usual with the exception of starting 1 hour later.

A two-hour delay would mean that school openings would be delayed for two (2) hours with specific alter-natives to certain programs.

Early Closing:

In the event that circumstances necessitate the early closing of school after school is in session, announce-ments will be broadcast over the same radio/TV stations listed previously. If school closes early, it will probably be announced that school will close either one or two hours earlier than usual.

All bus routes operate as usual except for starting one (1) hour earlier than the normal time.

All after-school activities requiring school bus trans-portation are canceled.
