Weather Cancellations (as per Handbook on the Parent Portal) 

School closures due to severe weather conditions will be announced one hour prior to your class time. Sometimes we are able to start our day but when a storm comes in the evening, we feel it is best to close for the safety of our staff and students. Notification of weather cancellations will be emailed and posted on our social media pages. You are entitled to a make-up class if we close due to weather. You may take a class at the same level (if offered) or one level below or above the current level. You may also try a new class as a make-up.
