INCLEMENT WEATHER POLICY
Accelerated Schools makes every effort to ensure that students can safely travel to and from school each day. ASOP has students attending our school from throughout the entire metropolitan area, so checking current weather conditions and forecasts will drive our decision about any changes in our school schedule.
Announcements about any changes in our school schedule due to inclement weather will be posted using:
a pop-up box on our website’s home page,
the announcement bar at the top of every page on our website, and
Changes in our school schedule will also be reported on local television stations. "Accelerated Schools" will appear on the TV screen and on the station’s website.
Student Responsibility
If any changes are made to our school schedule, students do not have the "day off.” In order to receive attendance credit for core classes on a day the school building is closed due to inclement weather, students must complete and turn in the assignments that their core teachers have posted on Google Classroom. Core classes are English, math, social studies and science.
Teachers of core classes will post assignments by 10:00am on the day the school building is closed. Students will be able to complete each of the 15-minute assignments using materials they have at home. Failure to turn in an assignment by 9:00am the next day will result in the student being counted absent for that core class.
Teachers of elective classes are not required to post assignments on a day the school building is closed due to inclement weather.
