INFORMATION  ON WINTER SCHOOL CLOSURE

INFORMATION ON WINTER SCHOOL CLOSURE POLICY

  • Please check the FTSD website www.ftsd.org on the mornings you are concerned if school will be held, delayed or cancelled due to inclement weather.  

  • School cancellations and delayed starts will be posted on the Live Feed and posted to the District Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/Frenc.../ .  

  • The District also has the IC message system that will send out a phone call, a text message, or email alerts for school closures or delays. 

  • The district will also make an effort to update parents and students on the website about the status of school in Frenchtown when there have been cancellations of other area schools but not for FTSD #40.

  • Also, listen for messages on the radio or television, as that will be the first place that we contact on any school closures. If you don't hear Frenchtown mentioned in a listing of school closures, then know that we are holding school.

  • However, if you are in a location that does not allow for safe passage to school or to the bus stop, then as a parent, you are the best person to determine if your child/children should attend school on a day when the weather is bad.  If a student is absent, because you could not get them to the bus stop or school, please notify the school and your child will be marked as an excused absence for that day.  

  • Watch for these notices!
