School Closing Procedures
The administration has a protocol for school closure and a system to quickly disseminate the information. The school administration will make a decision on school closure by taking several different factors into consideration. That decision will be made as early as possible, but usually no later than 6:30A.M. The School’s website, Facebook page and Twitter will be updated with a notice that school has been closed and the date of the closure. An example of this page is shown here. An email alert will also be sent to parents. Please take note of the date of closure, as that is the ONLY date(s) to which the closure applies. The Memphis TV stations, along with the school telephone system, will also be updated to the closure.
There are some times that the school will be open when other schools may be closed. This information will also be posted on the School’s website, Facebook page and Twitter so there is no question as to school closure.
Due to a combination of traffic, terrain around the school and the ages of some of our driving students, certain situations may call for early school closure due to deteriorating driving conditions. In that case, all appropriate sites will be updated.
