TORNADO/SEVERE WEATHER CONDITIONS

At first indication of severe weather conditions, the school office listens to Weather-Radio Alert for information of impending storms.

If a Tornado Watch is announced, students will be dismissed at the regular time, if nothing else develops.

If a Tornado Warning is announced, students will remain in school and be taken to designated shelter areas until an all clear is indicated. Children will not be released to anyone during a Tornado Warning except a parent.

If a severe thunderstorm or snowstorm occurs at dismissal time, the children will probably not be dismissed on time. They will be kept in school past dismissal time only if the storm is very severe.

If parents work or are not at home, they should make arrangements to have their child picked up from school or instruct the child to go to a nearby home in case of severe weather conditions.

If a child has come to school unprepared for a change in the weather, parents may bring clothing to the Office prior to dismissal. Parents are not to take children out of lines at dismissal to give them jackets, boots, etc.
