Inclement Weather and Closings information:
All immediate notices will be posted on this site!
When school is cancelled because of inclement weather prior to the start of the school day, students and parents
are notified over WHO, KMXD, KLYF, KISS, KJJY, KCOB, KRTI, KIOA, KRNT, KXTK, KLTI, KAZR, & KSTZ radio stations.
KCCI, WHO, and WOI television will also carry
the announcement. Normally, the announcement will be made by 6:00 a.m.
If school is dismissed because of inclement weather after the school day has begun, parents are notified by
the same means. Parents of students who ride the bus are notified how students will be returned home with the notification
that school has been dismissed. School officials determine whether buses will follow the regular routes. If the
buses do not follow the regular routes, they follow emergency routes or the parents are responsible for picking up the students
at the student's school.
The Principal
will determine whether to hold extracurricular activities or practices. If the extracurricular activity is to be held,
it will be voluntary for students. Students and parents are notified in the same manner as the notification that school
was dismissed, or notification will be made by individual phone calls.
The Colfax-Mingo Community School District has a Crisis Response Plan that is designed to minimize danger
to anyone occupying a school, should an emergency occur. Our main objective is to attend to the health and welfare of
your child/children in the event of a crisis.
In
most emergencies, your child will remain and be cared for at the school he/she attends. In the rare event of an emergency
affecting the school you child attends that prohibits re-entry to the building (such as a broken gas or water main, a fire
or toxic waste spill), students will be accompanied to a pre-determined alternate site or be dismissed to return home for
the day.
TURN ON YOUR RADIO TO WHO, KJJY,
OR KCOB. We will keep the media informed of any emergency.
PLEASE DO NOT TELEPHONE THE SCHOOL. We must use our phone lines to respond to the emergency.
PLEASE DO NOT COME TO THE SCHOOL UNLESS REQUESTED TO PICK
UP YOUR CHILD AT SCHOOL. If the emergency necessitates relocation of staff and students, you will be informed via
the radio stations.
