SEVERE WEATHER PROCEDURES:
The administration of the school will be in contact with the Civil Defense
by way of emergency weather radio so that early warning can be recieved
concerning possible severe weather.Pupils will be sent home only if we are
sure there is sufficient time to get them there before severe weather
strikes. Parents are urged not to come to the school for children if the
severe weather is already in the immediate area, since students would be
safer at school than traveling under these conditions. Disaster drills will
be held regularly at the school so children will be familiar with safety
areas and procedures. If it becomes necessary to send students home, that
decision will be made by the Director of Schools and not the principal.
Parents are advised to listen to local radio stations in these situations.

Early Dismissal, Attendance, Excused Absences and Tardies, Truancy,
Behavior, Missed Assignments, Medication, Bus Transportation, Dress Code,
Gifts to students, Materials Fee and Parent Involvement
