Inclement Weather Cancellations

Dear AHS Students, Staff & Parents,

With the potential for inclement winter weather upon us, I wanted to share with you avenues for determining if the weather has impacted school operations.  The following are the means that will be used to communicate with parents, students, and staff:

Arrowhead is responsible for determining school delays and cancellations for all Arrowhead K-8 feeder schools.  Decisions are based on gathering information from a variety of weather services, neighboring school districts, and local resources (DOT, Dousman Transportation, law enforcement, county, etc.).  Every effort is made to obtain the most accurate information in making a determination of whether to run school.  As always, the final decision of whether it is safe enough for your child to travel to school is yours, the parent.  If a determination is made that school is in session and as a parent you do not want your child traveling to school, you should call school and ask that your child be excused for the day. 

Being an optimist and because I prefer not to get up at 3:00 a.m. here’s hoping for a mild winter.

Sincerely,

Craig Jefson

Arrowhead Superintendent
