School Cancellation Policy

For weather related problems or other emergencies, please be familiar with the following policy:

As soon as the decision is made to cancel school or dismiss early, a phone message will go out to all St. Nicholas parents [home numbers and cell phone numbers that are on file] indicating whether school is to be cancelled, opened late, or closed early. The message will preface with “please hold for an important message from St. Nicholas School.”  Hopefully, the announcement will be made in the afternoon and evening before; however, the announcement will be made no later than 6:45am on the day in question.

           1. 

These assumptions will be made:     
   a.  If St. Nicholas does not open at the regular time, then the Early Morning Arrival Program will not be available.
   b.  If St. Nicholas is open at the regular time or on a delayed scheduled then the Extended School Program will be open on the same regular or delayed schedule. 

           2. 

If possible, an announcement will also be made concerning St. Nicholas on the local TV and radio stations (primarily WRCB TV–3 and WDEF 92.3 radio).  If St. Nicholas is NOT specifically announced among the schools that are closed or opening late, then St. Nicholas will open on a regular schedule. 

           3. 

Feel free to exercise your own judgment concerning conditions in your area.
