Winter Weather Reminders
Clothing and Recess
Please make sure that your children come to school dressed for the weather – winter coats, hats, gloves when necessary. There will be no outdoor recess when the wind chill is at 20 degrees or below. During times of year that temperatures can be unpredictable, dressing in layers is preferable.
Cancellations/AMI (Remote) Learning Days
Safety is priority number one when making the determination to cancel school on any given day due to inclement weather. If snow, ice, or extreme cold make conditions unsafe, we will cancel school OR plan a remote (AMI) learning day.
Notification
In the event of school cancellation, we will get that information to you as early as possible through automated phone calls and text messages, our District website, Facebook, Twitter, the District Hotline (816-858-2752), and local media.
Y Club
If we cancel school, our school-age child care programs generally will remain open for those families that are already signed up through YMCA (www.kansascityymca.org). School sites where child care is offered are consolidated so all children enrolled in the program at Compass, Siegrist, and Pathfinder will report to Pathfinder.
