Thanks to students, staff, and families, Green Township Elementary was able to donate over 400 jars of peanut butter to the Red Barn.

Winter is here so I would like to make you aware of our procedures and communication plan concerning the possibility of inclement weather:

● Weather decisions are made by our team who monitor conditions closely.

● When determining a delay, early dismissal or cancellation of school, countywide weather conditions are reviewed. In addition, we utilize the National Weather Service website @ www.nws.noaa.gov/om/cold/wind_chill.shtml

Communication

Before school, a decision will be made by 5:30 AM and communicated to you and your family in the following ways:

1. Staff/ parents will be notified through an all-call using School Messenger. (Telephone numbers are generated from our Skyward database. At your convenience, please check Skyward to ensure your telephone number is up-to-date for this academic year.)

2. Communication will be added to the district's website and social media accounts: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, MSD of Martinsville

3. Communication will be sent to the following radio and TV stations: WCBK, WISH 8, WRTV-6, WTHR-13, Fox-59.

4. This information can also be found on our website, https://www.msdofmartinsville.org/safety/.

Early Dismissal

As weather conditions in our area can change quickly, an early dismissal may be necessary. We will make a decision concerning dismissal as early as possible then call parents through School Messenger and communicate information to our website, social media and local media.

I encourage you as a family to develop a weather plan. For example, if parents or guardians work, where should your child go if there is an early dismissal or a two-hour delay?

I hope this information is helpful as we work together planning for inclement weather events.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

Eric Bowlen

Superintendent
