Emergency closing information

Policy Concerning Inclement Weather:
All parents are aware that freezing temperatures may be dangerous to students who must wait in the cold. It is up to the individual parent to determine whether or not their student’s health is at risk when the cold is intense. School will always be held at Providence Catholic when extremely cold temperature is the only hazard to traveling. When there is snow on the ground, or it is snowing, or there is a threat of snow, please listen to the radio for announcements from Providence. If a snow schedule is in effect, school will begin one hour later and the buses will run one hour later to allow snowplows to open roads. School will be in session whenever the school buses can run safely.

School Closing Announcements:
To obtain information on school closings, delays and event cancellations, you may do any of the following.
