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 getting
up in the wee hours of the morning, here’s hoping we have a mild winter.
Sincerely,
Craig Jefson
Arrowhead Superintendent
