GENERAL INFORMATION RE: SCHOOL CLOSINGS
For emergency closings, if possible, please do not call the school directly. Our school families will be notified of school closings, delayed openings, and early dismissals (due to weather or other emergency conditions) as quickly as possible. The district will contact families through the ALERTNOW Notification System. An announcement will be made on local radio and TV stations in Chittenden County. A notice will be posted on the Internet http://www.sover.net/schoolclosings. Normally, days missed for these reasons are made up at the end of the school year.

Show Your Child School is Important to Your Family
(Sources: Edward Joyner, Ebony/National PTA Guide to student excellence.)
Showing your child you support education is one of the best ways to inspire her to do her best. When she knows school is important to you, it becomes important to her, also. Your child will know school is a top priority the more you do these things:

• Meet and talk with your child's teacher even when there's no problem.
• Talk with your child about school.
• Tell your child why you value education and that you also expect it to be important to them.
• Monitor school work.
• Attend school events, and invite neighbors to come along.
• Post school work on the refrigerator for all to see.
• Ensure your child has needed school supplies.
• Volunteer at school.
