INCLEMENT WEATHER

Dear Veritas Community,

With so many new families within our school community, we wanted to bring to your attention, before necessary, our policy and procedure for responding to inclement weather with a school delay or school cancelation.

Above everything is safety. We have a couple of hundred families within our school and some drive as little as a few minutes while others are almost an hour away. While we are diligent regarding the main highways and roadways, we are not aware of specific conditions within neighborhoods. Also, you know the conditions of your driveway and immediate roads better than we do. As with all weather we have had people that do not have a snowflake or any ice while others have snow and ice in their immediate vicinity.

We will try, as a school, to make calls for delays and cancelations in plenty of time for you to make an alternate plan. Unlike public schools with busses on the roads, we are making decisions for the safety of our families. We will no longer be using WLOS school notification as there have been problems in the past with this system.

We will notify families in ALL of the following ways:
  • Text message
  • Email
  • School website

See here our school policy for weather-related delays and cancellations. Let us know if you have any questions.

WARRIOR ATHLETICS NEWS

Our Cross Country Team competed in the CSAA State Championship Meet last week. Our runners competed very well, and came away with a second-place finish!

We had four runners earn All-State accolades for their efforts. On the boys' side, Sam Burns finished fourth overall with a time of 21:36. For our girls, Hannah Stage finished third with a time of 25:49, Caroline Thompson finished fourth, and Kenley Nix finished seventh.

Great job to all runners on a great season! Thank you to Adam and Sherry Guice for their leadership and encouragement throughout the season.
