INCLEMENT WEATHER POLICY
Accelerated Schools of Overland Park 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.
Information about any changes to our schedule (e.g., school cancellations and late starts) due to inclement weather will be shared with parents via email and text (with the Remind app), and will also be announced through the following:
a pop-up box on our website,
an announcement bar at the top of our website,
local television stations ("Accelerated Schools" will appear on the TV screen and on the station’s website).
Student Responsibility when school is cancelled
Students do not have the “day off” when there is a school cancellation, but are to complete assignments from their core class teachers. Assignments will be posted on Google Classroom or emailed directly to students by 10:00am on the day school is cancelled. (In some cases, assignments may be sent home with students the day before a school cancellation.)
Students should be able to complete each 30-minute assignment using materials they have at home or in their backpacks.
Students who complete their core class assignments by 9:00am the next day classes are in-person after a school cancellation will not be counted absent. Students who do NOT complete their core class assignments by that time will be counted absent.
No assignments will be posted for elective classes.
