Closings/Delays
INFORMATION ON INCLEMENT WEATHER AND SCHOOL CLOSINGS/DELAYS
During extremely bad weather it sometimes becomes necessary for a decision to be made concerning the closing of schools. A decision to close schools or to consider a delayed schedule will be made by 5:30 a.m., unless inclement weather arrives later. A decision to close will affect all schools throughout Stokes County.
THE ABSENCE OF AN ANNOUNCEMENT MEANS THAT THE SCHOOLS WILL BE OPEN AS USUAL.
In order to receive information concerning the closing of schools, please follow these suggestions:
1) Early in the morning watch television stations 2, 8, 12, or ABC 45
2) Listen to the following radio stations: WTQR, WFDD, WXRI, WKZL, WMQX, WMAG, WKSI, WMYN, WSYD, OR WHEO
Do not telephone the Weather Bureau, radio or television stations, newspaper offices, school officials or school office.
SPECIAL NOTE TO ALL PARENTS When extremely bad weather develops during the day while students are in school and early dismissal seems imminent, please listen to your radio for instructions. If school does have to be closed before the end of the regular school day, school officials will be on duty at each school until students are picked up or sent home by whatever prearranged plans that are made by parents for such occasions. At such time, school buses will be in operation as usual for those students eligible for school bus transportation.
Notes:
I. Because of busing arrangements, not all schools will be dismissed at the same time.
2. Extracurricular activities, including club meetings and athletic practices and competitions, may not be conducted on any day when school has been dismissed early or canceled due to inclement weather unless the superintendent, on the recommendation of the principal, has approved an exception for a specific group, event or school. (Policy Code 3611)
3. When school reopens following a period of inclement weather, it may be necessary for buses to operate on limited routes.
In the event of Snow, Ice, Sleet or Other Slippery Conditions, bus service to the following roads will be temporarily suspended.
The following is a list of the affected roads by district.
