Re: Inclement Weather School Cancellations

Arrowhead Students, Staff, and Parents:

With the cancellation of school on January 6^th and 7^th, in addition to the most recent cancellations due to the frigid temperatures and wind chills on January 27^th and 28^th, the district will need to schedule an additional day of school.  Having a fourth day of school canceled due to inclement weather means Arrowhead High School will be in session and students will be expected to attend classes on Friday, May 23^rd, a day scheduled as a “possible snow make-up day.”

The 2013-14 Arrowhead High School calendar exceeds the state days/hours/minutes of instruction requirements by three days, allowing for three weather-related closures, without having to add make-up days.

Having at least two more months of winter and the possibility of additional cancellations the following dates will be used should additional cancellations occur:

Cancellation	Make-up Date(s)
5th Day of School Cancellation	June, 11th, 12th & 13th (2nd Semester Exam Schedule will go from half-days to full-days)
6th Day of School Cancellation	June 16th (Start of summer school moved back one day)
7th Day of School Cancellation	School cancellations will be made-up on Saturdays

This information is being provided to students, staff, and parents as early as possible, allowing time to plan accordingly.  A special note: the need for make-up days and the schedule provided, only apply to Arrowhead High School.  The Arrowhead K-8 feeder schools have lower days/hours/minutes of instruction requirements and may not be impacted by the school cancellations.  Individual school districts are responsible for making any determinations relative to this matter.

Sincerely,

Craig Jefson

Arrowhead Superintendent
