Inclement Weather - Striar Hebrew Academy

SNOW DAY POLICIES

Our foremost concern is the safety of all students, parents, and staff members. When safety is a concern, we err on the side of caution. School closings and delays will most often reflect the decision of the Sharon Public School. The SHAS policy is as follows:

Unless notified otherwise, assume school will be open at its regularly scheduled time.

IN CASE OF CLOSINGS OR DELAYS

Parents will receive a text message, an email, and a message on the SHAS Reminders Whatsapp group.

Since some of our families travel from towns outside of Sharon, please use your best judgment about the safety of bringing your child to school.

SCHOOL OPENING DELAYS

When a one-hour delay is posted, school will open at 9 AM.

When a two-hour delay is posted, school will open at 10 AM.

Unless notified otherwise, there will be late day/study hall and after-school clubs.

EARLY DISMISSAL DUE TO INCLEMENT WEATHER

On days when storms are expected, please stay aware of weather conditions.

When severe weather makes it necessary to close school early, we will make every effort to contact each child’s parents first and will then follow your emergency contact procedures.

Please do not rely on previous carpool arrangements. Contact the carpool driver directly so that s/he receives specific instructions from you on getting your child(ren) home safely and quickly.

In the event of poor driving conditions, you may wish to pick up your child early from school. Please follow early pick-up procedures.
