STMS Foul Weather Policy
|
|
|
Attention: STMS Volunteers
 In case of winter weather we will use the following meeting cancellation policy for all STMS committee and Board meetings. Listen for the Souderton Area School District cancellations on the radio or television or check their website. If they cancel school for the day, all STMS meetings are canceled. Office will most likely be closed also.
If they delay school by an hour or more, all morning STMS meetings are cancelled. Evening STMS meetings will be held as scheduled.
If they send the students home early, all evening STMS meetings are cancelled.
Many of our volunteers and staff need
to be flexible to handle kids who are home from school unexpectedly.
There is also the safety factor. No meeting is so important that it is
worth anyone risking bad road conditions. |
