It is that time a year where weather can effect our school day. Below is the policy/procedure from the handbook as a refresher.

Inclement Weather

a) When weather conditions make it necessary to close school, the cancellation or snow schedule will be announced by local/social media. Those who subscribe to our texting service will be notified via text of any cancellations or early dismissals.

b) Due to extreme weather, it may be necessary to dismiss school and After Care early. Local/social media will announce the closing time. An email will be sent to all parents and notification will be sent via text to all subscribed to the school texting service. Telephoning the school jams the telephone lines and is to be avoided.

c) On early dismissal days due to inclement weather, K-8 children are dismissed to the big flat for pick-up. Students not picked up 20 minutes after dismissal will report to the school office.

d) On all early release days there is NO After School Care. If inclement weather is forecasted, parents are to stay tuned to the local/social media during the day, as After School Care may need to be dismissed early if the weather hits after 3:05 PM.

The link to sign up for text alerts is posted at the bottom of this newsletter as well as on our web page for anyone not already signed up.

My name is Harley Hagenhoff and I will be filling in in the 3 year old room for Miss Niki. I recently graduated from Missouri Valley College with a Bachelor's of Science in Early Childhood Education and am a member at St. Martin Catholic Church. Some of my favorite things to do are walk my two dogs, Dakota and Elsa, and make all sorts of crafts. I look forward to working at St. Peter and getting to help the young children learn and blossom into beautiful beings.
