CANCELLATION OF SCHOOL

Emergency school closings may be necessary due to severe weather condition during a school day.   The decision to close is made by the public school districts and the bus companies serving the district.  St. Mary Parish School will automatically close when either Menomonee Falls OR Germantown Public Schools announce that they are closing due to inclement weather.  Please instruct your child as to where s(he) is to go if you are not home in the event of early dismissal.  The television or radio stations may not mention St. Mary Parish School by name.  Both school staff and families are to listen to the official television or radio stations for announcements on school closing:  Channels 4, 6, or 12 WTMJ 620 AM, WKTI 94.5 FM

Emergency announcements will be made on these stations concerning hazardous road conditions, school closings, delays, or bus cancellations due to adverse weather conditions.  When the start of school is delayed for a period of time, the same procedure used to close school, as listed above, shall be followed.  For example:
If:

• Germantown ONLY is delayed, school will begin at 8:05 a.m.  Germantown bus riders will not be counted as tardy.
• Menomonee Falls ONLY is delayed, school will begin at 8:05 a.m.  Menomonee Falls bus riders will not be counted as tardy.
• BOTH Germantown and Menomonee Falls are delayed, St. Mary will not open until 9:50 a.m. and there will be no morning kindergarten.  In this case, school will begin at 10:05 a.m.
