Inclement Weather Reminder
When inclement weather is in the forecast, the administration team convenes early in the AM to consider the conditions around the school, your commutes, and those of our faculty. The school will send communication only if there is a closure or delay. We will notify our school community in the following ways:
- The school website and social media accounts (follow us on Facebook and Instagram) will be updated to reflect the change in schedule.
- A text alert (SMS) will also be sent via SchoolMessenger to primary and secondary contacts with active mobile numbers listed in the PowerSchool Parent Portal.
- To receive text messages from St. John School, your mobile number must be on file in the PowerSchool database and opt-in to our text messaging service. More information about this service can be found here.
The school will communicate weather-related closures or delayed starts by 6am unless conditions change during the school day. If school is closed or delayed, Extended Daycare will mirror the school schedule. Should the school start time be delayed or canceled, hot lunch may be impacted, and those changes will be communicated. As always, we will make these decisions based on the safety of all involved.
Please ensure all mobile numbers for your primary and secondary contacts are updated and current in PowerSchool if you wish to receive SMS notifications. Additionally, if you need to update your mobile phones/emergency contacts, please reach out to the School Office to do so.
