School Closure/Late Starts

School Closing Procedures
In the event of fire, power failure, heavy snowfall or severe windstorm, parents are asked to stay tuned to their radio or television for information.

If school is to be closed, the decision and announcement will be made prior to 6:30 a.m. In order to maintain open communication lines, please do not call the school.

Emergency Operating Schedule
When emergency conditions result in school schedule changes, the district will use one of the following plans:

No announcement means NORMAL SCHEDULE. Dismissal schedules will be at regular times unless otherwise announced on the radio between 11:00 a.m. and 12:00 noon.

Schools are CLOSED. All building activities are cancelled including school, before and after school activities, athletic events and parent meetings.

Late start and limited bus services. Elementary schools will start one and one-half hours late, (10:00 a.m.) and bus routes will be limited. When in effect, Quest and AM Kindergarten classes are cancelled. High schools and junior highs will start one hour late.

Special Announcements. If there is a power failure or other conditions, a variation of the above plans will be announced.

Emergency Response Procedures
Rose Hill Elementary has its Emergency Preparedness Plan in place and parents are welcome to review it. A copy of this notebook is located in the school office for your viewing.
