I know it doesn't look much like a winter wonderland just now, but Provo School District is preparing policy for the coming winter storms. This message from our School Board member Kristine Manwaring:
In anticipation of a heavy winter, Provo School District is working to prepare schools and patrons for what could possibly be a "snow day." To keep from having to make up days during Spring Break, Provo School District will avoid closing schools for a complete snow day, if at all possible.
If a large storm does hit our city in the late evening or early morning, bus pick ups and school starting times may be set back exactly TWO hours later than the original times. This delayed start will give adequate time for snowplows to clear roads and ensure traveling is safe for all drivers in and around Provo City.
For example: A school regularly starting at 8:00 a.m. will start at 10:00 a.m on a Late Start Day. A regular bus pick up at 7:15 a.m. will be at 9:15 a.m on a Late Start Day. ALL schools, however, will keep dismissal times as originally scheduled. Students will be released from school at the normally scheduled times they are accustomed to.
If you are unsure of whether or not a storm has warranted a Late Start Day, please check this Provo School District Web site for updated information regarding the status of the school day. If a notice has not been posted by 6:00 a.m., schools and bus routes will operate on the standard schedule. You can also check your local television news stations or your school for more details regarding the Late Start Day. You may contact Laken Cannon at 801-228-7802 if you do not have television or Internet access in your home.
Thank you for helping your student understand these procedures. Happy Holidays!
