Dear Trojan Family,
Due to the incoming winter storm we will switch to an eLearning day for tomorrow, Feb. 3. All after school activities, practices, and games for Wednesday, Feb. 2 have been cancelled.
We will wait to make a decision on activities, practices, and games that are scheduled for Thursday. Additionally, we have not made a decision on whether to utilize eLearning for Friday. When it comes to two-hour delays or cancellations, it is our goal to inform stakeholders by 6:00 a.m., but we are confident that we will be able to communicate our decision about Thursday events and the Friday school day well in advance.
As a reminder, school closings or delays will be available on the following local T.V. stations: Channel 4 (CBS), Channel 6 (ABC), Channel 8 (CW), Channel 13 (NBC) and Channel 59 (FOX). School closings will also be posted on our website and sent via phone, text and email using the phone numbers and email addresses available. We will also announce school closings via various twitter accounts including @BishopChatardHS and @BCHS_Principal.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at (317-251-1451, ext. 1900) or via email at jhansen@bishopchatard.org.
God bless,
Sincerely,
|
