February 19, 2020~~~ Jesse Boyd Elementary School
Aloha from Dr. Rose
I may be unlike your students, because I have been doing the ANTI-snow dance all day in hopes that tomorrow will be a full day of school with no disruption to learning. However, just in case further down in the Principal's Page is some information should we have inclement weather tomorrow.
ATTENTION 5th grade parents
YEARBOOKS
Just in case
Below is just a reminder of our early dismissal procedures:
Early Dismissal
1. Should school close early after arrival, you will receive a phone call and an email. The information will also be posted on our Facebook and Twitter feeds as well as the school's website. Please DO NOT call school and ask if school is closing. School closing is not made at the school level and we promise to call you as soon as the decision is made to release school early. *Please note that if power is off at school, we have no phone system. Cell reception is not great at JBE and getting online to update social media and make a school wide phone call may be delayed.
2. In most cases, we will have lunch for students prior to dismissal.
3. Our teachers will send your student home in their normal procedure. Should you want something different on an early dismissal day, please email your child's teacher.
4. During our dismissal process, students will not be dismissed from the main office. The office will be locked prior to dismissal for safety purposes.
5. School buses and most day care vans will pick up on early dismissed days. Students will be sent home on the bus or day care van unless your student's teacher knows differently.
School Delays
We sometimes start school late due to cold temperatures or road conditions. Normally these are two hour delays but on the rare occasion we have a 3 hour delay. The 2 hour delay is simply that, we will run everything 2 hours later (except dismissal time). On a 2 hour delay:
-If the delay is decided upon the night prior, you will receive a phone call and an email as well as postings on Facebook, Twitter and the school's website. We will not call you after 9pm or before 7am.
-If the delay is decided in the early morning hours, please stay tuned to email, Facebook, Twitter, the school's website, and your local media. We will not do an all call in the early morning prior to 8am.
-Buses will pick up 2 hours later than a normal morning. Sometimes buses will not run on streets that are too icy and dangerous.
-2nd-5th grade car loop will open at 9:15am.
-K-1st grade car loop will open at 9:30am.
-School start time will be 9:50am.
-Should temperatures be below 30, safety patrol students will not need to be on duty and carline may be a little longer than usual.
School Closings
We also may experience school closings due to weather. Whenever possible, district officials make the decision to close school the night before the closing. If decisions are made prior to 9pm the night before the closing, you will receive a phone call. No phone calls will be made to your home after 9pm or before 7am from JBE. Information will be emailed, posted on our Facebook, Twitter,and school website. If the decision to close school happens in the morning, the information will be posted on the school's website, Facebook and Twitter, and you will receive an email. No phone calls will go out prior to 7am. All information on closing will also be on media outlets such as TV and radio.
E-Learning
As a precaution, your student will come home today with their E-learning folders or items downloaded on their MacBooks from Schoology. This work does not need to be completed unless we have a day out of school.
As always the safety and security of our students, staff, and families is of the highest priority when these decisions are made.
