As the winter progresses, a reminder of the procedure used to communicate inclement weather decisions.

Depending on conditions, monitoring of the current conditions begin at approximately 4:30 AM. By 5:30 AM, a decision is made, starting the communication procedure in motion.
The decision is communicated in this order:
1) Critical staff is notified, including Kitchen and Custodians.
2) Text messages are sent. To sign up for text messages, please see the website at:
