INCLEMENT WEATHER PLAN (revised 1-9-25)

As we begin the new year, we are aware that this winter may bring more wet weather than usual. With this in mind, we want to inform you about our updated Inclement Weather Learning Plan, based on recent guidance from the Diocese, aimed at minimizing the impact of weather-related closures on our school year.

​

Inclement Weather Days and Make-Up Plan
As we’ve outlined previously, our first three inclement weather days will be made up according to the dates listed on the school calendar. We’ve already used our three inclement weather days this year, and these will be made up on the following dates:

• February 17

• March 17

• April 17

​

Asynchronous Virtual Learning Days
Now that we have used our three built-in make-up days, any subsequent weather-related closures will be considered Asynchronous Virtual Learning Days. On these days, teachers will post assignments on Google Classroom or send home learning packets. These assignments will continue the regular classroom learning. Additionally, teachers will hold virtual office hours from 10:00-11:00 AM on Google Classroom/Meet, where students can ask questions or seek clarification about their work.

Students will have two calendar days to complete and submit their assignments to demonstrate attendance for that school day. 

​

Flexible Instructional Days (FID)
Our Flexible Instructional Days (FID) will now be reserved for emergencies that prevent our students from being able to attend school in person (e.g., fire, flood, power outage). On FID days, students will receive a grid of enrichment activities that can be completed at home. These activities are not intended to continue regular classroom learning but will focus on expanding students' skills and interests. Teachers will be available via email to answer any questions related to the FID activities. FID activities will be due within two calendar days to demonstrate attendance for that school day. We may use up to three Flexible Instructional Days per school year.

​

We hope this plan provides clarity on how we will handle weather-related closures and ensures that learning continues seamlessly, regardless of the weather. As always, we appreciate your support and understanding as we navigate these challenges together. ​​​​​
