Severe Weather Procedures
The principal’s office will be in constant contact with the Civil Defense by way of emergency
weather radio so that early warning can be received concerning possible severe weather. Pupils
will be sent home only if we are sure there is sufficient time to get them there before severe
weather strikes. Parents are urged not to come to school for children if the severe weather is
already in the immediate area since students would be safer at school than traveling under these
conditions.
Emergency drills will be held regularly at the school so that the children will be familiar with
safety areas and procedures. If it becomes necessary to send students home the Director of
Schools, not the school, will make that decision. Parents are advised to listen to local radio
stations in these situations. Our One Call Now phone system will make a call to your home
phone and emergency contact number. It is recommended that parents sign up to receive text
alerts from the Cleveland Bradley County Emergency Management Agency. Text CBCEMA to
888-777 to enroll.
Please make plans with your children for early dismissal due to inclement
weather.
