Greetings!
As our students live in communities across the Dayton region, I make decisions about delaying or cancelling school due to the affected locations of our students. We do our best to keep students in the learning environment as much of the school year as possible.
In regards to the remaining number of "snow days," I can share we consistently monitor the current hours of instruction with reference to the requirements by the state. I am comfortable with our current hours even with the recent number of unexpected days off.
We have several more hours to allocate to weather delays/closure if needed. And, we have three days within our calendar schedule we could add as days off school in March, April and May. Before considering that option, my strategy is to deploy two-hour delays more frequently as possible. An additional couple of hours typically allows for additional time for roads to improve and a slower, more cautious drive to school. If this is the case, please remember,
CJ's attendance policy allows your child to follow your local public district plan for the day if CJ does not delay/close and it will count as an excused absence. Please call OSS to report an absence if you choose to do this on an inclement weather day.
