If conditions indicate that school openings may be delayed, an announcement will be made over the above TV station and on the school's telephone taped announcement. For a Delayed School Opening, starting time will be one and one-half (1½) hours later than usual.

          

The above TV station will likewise broadcast early dismissal for emergency reasons. Working parents should make alternative arrangements for the care of their children in the event of an early dismissal.
