TCGIS Snow Day and Cold Day Policy

• In an effort to clarify TCGIS' Snow Day and Cold Day policy, the TCGIS School Board decided on the criteria here for canceling school. 

TCGIS Recess Cancellation Policy

• Recess will be indoors if the wind-chill drops below the 30 minute threshold for frostbite as determined by the National Weather Service Wind-chill chart. Forecasts from the National Weather Service will be used to make the determination. This policy is to protect students and staff from extreme conditions and ensure their safety.
• In the event of heat indexes above 100 degrees Fahrenheit, recess will be inside. Additional water will be provided at recess when the heat index exceeds 90 degrees. Forecasts from the National Weather Service will be used to make the determination. This policy is to protect students and staff from extreme conditions and ensure their safety.
• Heavy Rain, lighting, local flooding, and other severe weather will result in moving recess indoors. Lightning will result in recess moving indoors for 30 minutes past the last lightning strike. Forecasts from the National Weather Service and staff observations will be used to make the determination. This practice is to protect students and staff from extreme conditions and ensure their safety.
• Administration reserves the right to cancel recess for any and all students.

1. Please pull up as close to the curb as possible. We will work extra hard to make sure there is not a lot of snow or ice. When we don't do this, we narrow the road for traffic.
2. Please make sure your green signs are visible with the students full name and grade (ex. Jane Doe 3A) in the passenger side window.
3. Staff will help students enter and exit the vehicles. Please say in your vehicles to keep the line moving for everyone.
4. Review the drop off and pick up routes and parking areas on the school website  https://www.tcgis.org/index.php/resources/drop-off-pick-up-guide.
