November 13 | Weather Letter

Parent Choice:

• If schools are open, parents, as always, may excuse their child if they feel conditions are unsafe.

Please Note:

• Please note that there may still be a need to use emergency days without eLearning if an emergency happens with little warning and there is not enough time to activate the eLearning plan. We would communicate that to staff, students, and families.

Notification Timing:

Closure announcements are made by 5:30 a.m. on the day of closure, or by 9:30 p.m. the night before when possible. They will be sent to parent/guardian emails via our SchoolMessenger email platform as well as via text for those who have signed up for our emergency text notification system.

Where to find our communications:

Updates are posted on the district website, social media, and the Emergency Closing Center site. Phone notifications are sent by 9:30 p.m. if possible, otherwise by 5:30 a.m.

Emergency Notification TEST this Friday

District 25 will send out a TEST message of an inclement weather day on Friday, November 15 at around 6pm. This message will be a phone call, text message, and email. If you do not receive this test within 30 minutes of 6pm, please email our Head of Communications & Storytelling, Adam Harris (aharris@sd25.org).

In the event of a school closure, the District may choose between implementing an eLearning day or making up the day according to the school calendar. In the instance where an eLearning Day is being implemented, your child(ren) would not come to school but rather they would learn from home connecting with their teachers virtually. Please read through this letter (linked here) for details on eLearning Days.

As always, the safety and security of our students and staff remains a top priority of AHSD25.
