PROCEDURES FOR INCLEMENT WEATHER
Notification: Cedar Mountain uses Infinite Campus to notify families of weather-related changes. Email, the website, social media and local media will all be utilized as a way to inform people. It is my goal to make an initial decision daily by 5:45am and communicate shortly after.
2 Hour Late Starts: There are days during the winter where the weather/road conditions start poor but improve enough for school to start late. On a 2-hour late start, the MSHS will begin at 10:10 and the elementary school will start at 10:20. Buses will run a two-hour late start schedule as well.
Below is how each school will adjust to a 2-hour late start:
Elementary: Teachers will adjust their personal schedules. Breakfast will be served.
MS/HS: The MS/HS will run their 8-hour schedule with shortened periods. See the adjusted schedule. Breakfast will be served.
E-Learning: Cedar Mountain utilizes e-Learning as a way to count a school day on a day when the weather does not allow us to physically attend school. The full e-Learning plan can be found at this link E-Learning Plan. MN statute allows school districts to use up to 5 days for e-learning.
Cancelations: In the event that we cancel, messages will be sent out via infinite campus and will be broadcast on local radio and TV stations.
Early Outs: There are times when school is let out early due to weather moving into the area. The dismissal times and any adjustments will be communicated with families as soon as a decision is made via infinite campus and local radio and TV stations.
