Already the weather delays for public schools started TODAY!  Yikes.  The families that have signed up for Remind 101 all received a text bright and early letting you know that we having a normal opening today.  (Sorry if it’s too early for some, but others have requested as early notification as possible since they start planning their day in the wee hours.)

If you haven’t already, please sign up for text notifications as ALL weather closings and delays will be relayed through this service this winter.

To this number: 81010 (works like a traditional 10 digit phone number)

Also, please make drop offs and picks ups quick when the weather is bad so that the “good” parking spots remain accessible to as many families as possible.

HERE’S OUR  WEATHER POLICY

Wee Friends recognizes that delays and closings are horribly inconvenient.  However, we balance that with the safety of getting our staff to work and being able to get the street, sidewalks and stairs cleared for our clients.  Here are some general guidelines:

• If the public schools are closed due to road conditions, plan on a MINIMUM of a 10:00 delayed opening.
• As a general rule, we DO NOT close or delay for temperature only public school closings since our children are not bussed.  However, it doesn’t take much snow combined with frigid temperatures to make clearing sidewalks dangerous for our staff in the early hours of the morning so a delay would make sense in those instances.
• I will announce delays/closings by 7:15 in the morning via our text service.
• A delay may turn into a close after 7:15, if I find that our staff cannot get in to work.  Please keep in mind, it is really hard to determine how the roads will be when it is still dark and clearing has not begun.
