Emergency Closings

If school is to be closed due to severe weather, the
Rockford Area Superintendent will make that decision prior to 7:00
a.m. WROK 1440 AM and local TV stations will announce that the
Rockford Catholic Grade Schools will be closed. This statement
includes St. Peter. Should severe weather occur after 7:00 a.m.
parents may choose to keep students home or pick students up if they
feel their safety is jeopardized. If we feel the need for early
dismissal exists, phone calls will be made to let families know.
Students will not be dismissed when tornado warnings
exist. We encourage parents to leave children at school in such
instances until the danger has passed. Dismissal of school may be
postponed in such cases. We will also use email notification and an
emergency calling system to notify parents.
Our school is equipped with an emergency weather radio.
The school office is notified of any severe weather. Though we
appreciate parental concerns, please avoid calling at such times so
that phone lines can remain open if needed. |
