2/13/2019 0 Comments Snow DaysBy Kenidy Cessna Here’s a commonly asked question: Do we have to make up our snow days?... The answer to that is, maybe. The school board decides at a board meeting when and if we will make up any days we have had delays on or any school days completely canceled. I’m sure you can all recall the week we only had about two days of school because of the frigid cold weather received in late January. Those days missed won't all be made up however, March 1st we will have school to make up just one of the snow days we had.
Most students look forward to delays or cancelled school so they get to sleep in and watch Netflix all day but the school tries to continue on the day as usual, that is of course within reason of all the students’ safety. On those mornings that you receive the news of a delay or cancellation I’m pretty sure you don’t know what work goes into making those decisions, it takes a lot of communication, early mornings, and in some cases driving in those conditions. On a morning where the weather looks a little rough the Superintendent, which in this case is Mr. Prater, he gets up at about 4 a.m. and checks outside and talks with other schools around the area about their weather and if they are cancelling or delaying school. Every year the school puts aside a few snow days but this year they did not, which made it terrible timing for the harsh weather. As you can see there is much work that goes into calling our school cancellations and delays that a lot of students don’t know about. Therefore, some snow days are difficult to confirm. Thank you to all the work that everyone does to keep students safe from the weather!
