SYC Snow/Emergency Closing Policy

SNOW/EMERGENCY CLOSING POLICY: Because our children do not wait for buses or walk to school, it doesn\’t always make sense for us to close for low temperatures. We see many families out and about on those cold days and know that for many a quick trip from house to car to school is preferable to staying cooped up all day or having to make it up later. As a result, we will not necessarily close SYC when Columbus City Schools closes. The SYC staff will make a decision on a day-to-day basis, taking into consideration road conditions and weather. We may also choose to close for the morning and open for the afternoon if it seems appropriate. We will aim to notify parents (email, Facebook, text, website) soon after Columbus makes their decision, but at least by 6:30 am for morning/all day cancellations and by about 9:30 am for afternoon cancellations. If Columbus closes, we will post whether we are closing or whether we are staying open. Keep in mind that last-minute cancellations are always a possibility due to other factors (water, heat, etc.) regardless of what happens in Columbus.
