SCHOOL CANCELLATIONS, DELAYED OPENINGS, EARLY DISMISSALS

All announcements of school cancellations, delayed openings, and early dismissals will be broadcast on the following radio stations:

WWCO - 1240 AM               WTIC - 1080 AM                WZBG - 97.3 FM      

WVIT - TV30                     WTNH - TV8  

In most cases, when early dismissal occurs, after school activities are canceled.  If an after school activity is canceled, children will be sent home the way they normally go home from school each day. There will be NO YMCA Program on days when there is an unscheduled early dismissal!

Occasionally it becomes necessary to dismiss schools early.  This is a decision made only when weather predictions are particularly threatening or there is an emergency.  On these occasions, an announcement would be made on the radio/ TV.

Arrangements should be made between you and your child as to what they are to do, and where they are to go.  To alleviate anxiety on the part of your child, it is imperative that you review what it is they should do if this instance should it occur.  It is also recommended that a written note be sent to the office specifying what your child is to do in this event.  This way we have notification of what is to transpire and will share this with your child's classroom teacher.

It is impossible to call and notify every parent of an unscheduled early dismissal.  Please make sure that you listen to the radio, or have a designated friend, relative, etc. do so during inclement weather and notify you. If we need to dismiss early due to an emergency (not weather related) we, with the assistance of the PTO, will attempt to make contact with you.

EMERGENCY  SHEETS

Emergency Sheets are essential for the safety of your child.  This sheet is vital in our communication with you and notification should a problem arise.  This sheet should contain the names of all people we may call in the event we cannot contact you in case of emergency.

CHILDREN WILL BE RELEASED ONLY TO THOSE PERSONS LISTED ON THIS SHEET!

IT IS IMPORTANT FOR PARENTS TO CONTACT THE OFFICE IMMEDIATELY IF THERE IS A CHANGE IN ADDRESS, TELEPHONE NUMBER (HOME OR WORK),  CHILD CARE PROVIDER, OR PERSON TO CONTACT IN CASE OF EMERGENCY.

NOTIFICATION OF CHILD'S ABSENCE

PLEASE CALL the nurse's office at  945-2784 every day after 8:00 A.M. to notify us of your child's absence.  If a call is not received, the school nurse or office will call the parents. When a child returns to school following an absence, please write a brief note stating the date and the reason for the absence.

TARDINESS

All students must report to the office when they arrive late. Whenever a child is going to be late for school, please call the school office at 945-2776 after 8:00 A.M. to notify us.  If a call is not received, the office will call the parents. 

PERMISSION FOR LEAVING THE SCHOOL GROUNDS

AT NO TIME is a student allowed to leave the school building or grounds without notifying the office.

If you should need to take your child out of school early, please call the school and stop at the office to pick up your child.
