  INCLEMENT WEATHER POLICY

 
 
In the event of inclement weather which might result in the closing of school or altering of the normal schedule, the following procedure will be used.  The Headmaster or his designee will activate the ALERTNOW Rapid Notification Service and contact the following radio and television stations (see below).

 

If conditions are such that an early decision can be made, the above steps will be taken before 6:30 a.m.  If inclement weather develops during the school day, early dismissal will be announced over local radio and TV stations, phone calls will be made through the ALERTNOW service, and information will be posted on the school's website. 

 

The school will provide information on delayed opening and closing based on the best available information.  Because APA covers a broad geographical area and weather conditions can vary greatly, each parent needs to decide if weather conditions in the local area are too dangerous for travel.  If APA operates on either a delayed or normal schedule and weather conditions in the local area present a hazardous situation, do not attempt to travel to school.
