When school is closed, the doors will be locked and no supervision will be available on either campus.
However, the school also recognizes that conditions may vary enormously from one town to the next. Even if school remains open, please make your own decision about the safety of the roads in your area before setting off for school. In the event that a major storm arises during the day and school has to be closed, we will contact you by phone and e-mail. Please make sure we have current information about how to reach you at all times.
