WSD Elementary Out-of-School Learning Programs Emergency Weather Cancellation Plan (PLEASE KEEP TOP HALF OF SHEET)

Weather or mechanical breakdowns sometimes require early or emergency dismissal during the school day. District-wide emergency dismissals are announced on the television and radio stations listed below.

This Emergency Weather Cancellation Plan addresses those times when there is not an early dismissal and the District has not cancelled all after-school programs, but weather conditions are worsening. Programs offered by the Out-of-school learning programs may announce cancellation of after-school programs (independent of a District decision) to assure safety of students, staff, and volunteers in its programs at the following schools: Hawthorn Hills, Lincoln, Stettin, Thomas Jefferson, Grant, GD Jones and Riverview. This decision will be announced by 1:00 PM on television and radio stations listed below and by phone and/or e-mail via School Messenger. (This may precede a District-wide decision.)

If after-school programs must be cancelled, we would like to know that you have made plans for your child(ren). Please complete the form below and return it to your out-of-school Enrichment Coordinator. Discuss the plan with your child/children. It is difficult for students to telephone for instructions at these times, so we will keep a copy of your after-school plan on file. Please plan ahead to assure the safety of your child and inform us of any changes in this plan. It is the responsibility of parents to be attentive to cancellations and to act accordingly to your child’s plan in the event of a cancellation. Children must be picked up promptly at the close of the regular school day if not designated to walk home or ride the bus.
