Severe Weather Procedures

The Superintendent’s office continuously monitors the Civil Defense radio frequency and alerts each school in the event of approaching severe weather.

• If students are in school when a tornado watch (meaning the possibility of a tornado exists) or thunderstorm warning is issued, students will remain in session until the regular dismissal time.
• If students are in school when a tornado warning is issued, students will remain in school, taking shelter in designated areas.
• Parents, legal guardians, or predetermined individuals may pick up students at school during any severe weather warning.
• Please do not call school during severe weather warnings unless you have a particularly serious problem. It is important that school lines remain open.
• Announcements will be made on local radio and television stations regarding school cancellations.
