CLOSING/DELAYED OPENINGS

St. Michael Child Care will follow the decision made by the Superintendant of Jefferson County Catholic School when weather conditions cause school openings to be questionable. Announcements will be made for Jefferson County Catholic Elementary Schools. Please listen to your local TV or radio stations. We will also send a message through Brightwheel and FACTS.

If a delayed schedule is announced, doors will open at 9:00 a.m.

In the event of an early closure due to inclement weather, this decision will be made by our administration team and communicated through FACTS and Brightwheel. 

Early Dismissal Plan
When the Archdiocese makes the decision to release Catholic secondary/high schools early
due to inclement weather, St. Michael School will release one hour later. This
allows time for parents/families to pick up their high school students if necessary
and safely reach St. Michael in a timely manner for early dismissal. Afternoon
dismissal procedures will continue as normal (bus riders, walkers, 6-8 carpool,
regular carpool).

A notification via email and text will be sent out through FACTS to all families and
staff in the event of an early dismissal. Please make every effort to keep your
contact information updated in our FACTS system at all times.
In the event that St. Michael is released early due to weather:

● All after school activities, including clubs and athletic practices or events, are
canceled.
● Parish offices will close after the close of school.
● Childcare will remain open for one hour after school closes.
● After school care will remain open for one hour after school closes.
● No parish or school meetings (including but not limited to PTO, SAB, Finance,
Parish Council, or Athletic Board meetings) may be held until the campus
reopens.

If St. Michael releases at normal time, but inclement weather is still a
possibility, our childcare and after school care program will determine if
there is a need to close before 6:00. This will be communicated to parents
by our Childcare director, Ms. Kristina Fehr, or a delegate.
