What you can do to assure your child’s comfort and safety. The superintendent decides whether school will be in session. However, it is your decision as a parent whether you want your child to attend school on any given day due to conditions, and we are aware that things like weather, fog, and road conditions can vary by location across counties and the school district. Have alternate childcare plans in place that are well-understood by your children. Should they go to a neighbor’s house? Will a babysitter or another approved person pick them up? Do they have a key to the house and know how to reach you? Know and post the school’s start and end times.
