 School
Closure Policy
Mountain Shadows
will be closed due to weather if BOTH St. Vrain and
Boulder Valley School Districts are closed. If only one of
the area school districts closes, we will make every effort to
remain open.
 In
the event that Mountain Shadows does close due to weather, we
will contact KUSA Channel 9 TV, KOA 850 AM radio and
Cancellations.com. When the weather is bad, but school is
open, parents must make a family decision regarding attendance
or late arrival for their children. Please pick up your
children early, arrive late, or keep children at home as
conditions in your area dictate.
Other conditions that may prevent the school from operating
include, but are not limited to, lack of water, electricity, or
telephone lines (which monitor the school's fire alarm). While
school closings are rare, if the school is closed for any
reason, no refunds will be given for educational or childcare
programs.
It
is recommended that working parents have pre-arranged childcare
available to them in case the school is closed. Arrangements
with a friend, neighbor, work, a neighborhood teenager or
another childcare center should be available to parents. Also,
it is very important that parents make these arrangements before
the event, since the weather in Colorado is unpredictable and it
is possible for a severe storm to hit without citizens being
prepared for it before hand. |
