Winter Weather for Friday, January 7, 2022 and Remote Learning Protocols if Needed
Evergreen Families,
Winter weather is upon us, and as I shared in my email yesterday, we want to be prepared in the event it is necessary to close our school buildings.
The National Weather Service has alerted us of rapidly changing conditions in our area with the most recent weather forecast indicating that we will continue to have cold weather and snow accumulations this evening and that tomorrow we are expecting high winds and additional snow turning into rain and freezing rain in the afternoon. If these conditions hold, we may close school buildings and transition to remote learning tomorrow, Friday, January 7, 2022 (see protocols below).
We are closely monitoring weather conditions and forecasts this evening and will do so again early tomorrow morning. A decision regarding school closure and a transition to remote learning will be made by 6:00 a.m. tomorrow morning and communicated to families and staff through multiple methods (email, website, social media, etc.).
Remote Learning
If the decision is made to close school buildings due to inclement weather, we will transition to a remote learning day (all students will learn from home remotely) in lieu of a make-up day at the end of the year.
Teachers will reach out to students the morning of a school building closure via email, Google Classroom, and/or other platforms.
Students with a device and internet access should login to their Google Classroom by 8:30 am.
Students will attend virtual classes, and teachers will provide online office hours for students.
Students without a device and internet access will complete other work assigned by the teacher.
Teachers will mark student attendance based on student work completed and/or attendance in online classes.
Again, we work very hard to avoid school closure, as it is very difficult on students, families, and staff. Please know that the safety of our students and staff remains our top priority. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
Best regards,
Laurie
Inclement Weather Protocols
Evergreen Families,
We work very hard to avoid school closure, as it is very difficult on students, families, and staff. However, just in case, we would like to remind you of our emergency school closure procedures and protocols.
Precautions
Please be sure your child is dressed for colder weather. Students will be required to be indoors when the temperature outside is 5° or lower (including a wind chill factor at or below 5°).
On very cold days, if your child typically walks to school, it is advised that you drive your child to school if at all possible. If your child will be walking to school, please make sure that he or she has the appropriate cold weather clothing. If you need assistance with winter clothing, please contact your school's office.
School Closures
While some surrounding school districts may choose a delayed or late start, we do not intend to use "late starts" in the Evergreen School District due to the significant disruption to learning that occurs and the hardship it places on families. (Therefore, a surrounding school district may start two hours late, while the Evergreen School District may have a regular, full day of school.)
School Closures are announced through the following methods:
Local radio and television stations
Email to the email address we have on file
Emergency phone call to the primary phone number we have on file
Notices posted on the District website and on District social media sites (Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter)
Decisions regarding school closure are made by 6:00 a.m. each school day and are communicated to families and staff as soon as possible, usually no later than 6:15 a.m.
We certainly hope to have school as usual throughout this winter but wanted to share our procedures and protocols just in case.
Stay safe and warm out there!
Best regards,
Laurie
