Everyone knows that the school generally does not close for snow days. Historically it goes back to when all of the students came from the Remington community and walked to school and the school was in our community center. Even if school was closed, everyone seemed to show up at the Center anyway. Then it was a tradition that if someone didn't show up on a snow day, the class would walk to his or her house to get them. Fun, fun.
As the student body has branched out to not only come from the multiple communities around the school, but also from around the city, we have had to rethink this policy. Safety and accessibility are the big concerns and so we are closed for icy conditions or when buses aren't running.
Because the city is still digging out side streets, we decided to not have regular classes tomorrow. I've already heard from a student who wishes school would be open and said she would walk to get here. So I decided to not hold regular class, but to be open if a student wants to come in.
What do you think our policy should be?

Policy Suggestion 1 - If the #27 bus is running, then we should be open.
ReplyDeletei think we should go if the 27 is running and if it is not then we should not of the bus cannot make it out then it is a clear sign of th snow being bad. also if we have a blizzard like this again you should text the students and ask about streets and if a few cant amke it then close becasue you and everyone else who had missed a day no how hard it is to make up all that work!!
