Parent Communication

Re: Inclement Weather – Frigid Temperatures & Wind Chills
Forecasted
Arrowhead Students, Staff, and Parents:
The National Weather Service has issued a WIND CHILL
ADVISORY for our area starting at midnight tonight and extending through 9pm
Monday.
As a general guideline, a WIND CHILL WARNING is used to
determine if the operations of school will be impacted.
At this time, the
Arrowhead Area Schools will remain in
session for Monday, January 27, 2014.
We are continuing to monitor the situation and will communicate with
students, staff, and parents should circumstances warrant a decision impacting
school operations. A previous
communication was sent to Arrowhead parents outlining the means for accessing
updates on inclement weather impacting operations. This communication can be
found on the District’s Blog at:
The National Weather Service has issued an additional alert
for a WIND CHILL WARNING from 9pm Monday (1/27) until noon Tuesday (1/28). The forecast is for Wind Chill Values of 35
to 50 below zero for Monday evening and Tuesday morning. If the forecast holds true the potential for
a cancellation of school would be very likely.
Arrowhead is responsible for determining school delays and
cancellations for AHS, as well as all Arrowhead K-8 feeder schools.
Decisions are based on gathering information from a variety of weather
services, neighboring school districts, and local resources (WeatherNet –
private weather service provider, 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
We will continue to closely monitor weather conditions and
communicate if the operation of school is impacted.
Sincerely,
Craig Jefson
Arrowhead Superintendent
