Attica School Families (Repeated message from prior newsletter)
We have “officially” reached the winter weather season and recognition that snow and frigid temperatures are a possibility until March. Because of ACS substantial investment in technology, traditional “snow days” could become E-Learning Days; with instruction continuing virtually or through individually arranged options. The state has capped the number of ELearning days a corporation can use at three. Attica CS understands that the decision to remain open, delay, release early, close or move to ELearning due to poor weather has a substantial impact on all families. We will make every effort to inform Attica School Families the night before a move to a delay, closing or E learning due to weather conditions. Because of the timing of inclement weather, some decisions may need to be made early in the morning.
I want to take this opportunity to assure all Attica School Families that the safety of our students is our first priority. Factors that will determine a delayed start, early release, closing or an E Learning Day include road conditions, falling or rising temperature, visibility, accumulating and blowing snow, weather projections and shared reports with the city of Attica and surrounding school districts. Although the correct decision is made with the best of intentions, it is an imperfect system due to the unpredictability of the weather, especially in Indiana!
In the event Attica Schools must use an alternative schedule due to inclement weather or other emergencies, families will be contacted through our automated messaging system. Messages will also be posted to ACS social media, corporation website and information shared with local TV and radio.
Please know that any time there is inclement weather and our schools are open, but you do not feel the conditions are safe enough for your child to be out, we respect your decision to keep him/her at home. We do appreciate that you contact their school building to let them know of your decision. We appreciate your support in making certain all of our students get to school safely this winter.
Expect Victory!
