As forecasts are beginning to call for snow over the next week, Voyage Academy wants to remind parents about the procedures it uses when considering school closures for inclement weather.
The decision to close school or delay school opening actually occurs in the early-morning hours as our Administration begins assessing what the weather amounted to the previous night.
Voyage Academy also reviews current road conditions and weather reports, considers what forecasts are predicting, and takes into account student and employee safety, and security. If the Administration decides to close school, that decision will be made as early as possible and prior to parents leaving to bring students to school.
In the event of a closure or a two-hour delayed start, Voyage Academy will notify parents and guardians through a call-out, email, and text message. Additionally, the information will be posted to our school website and social media.
Parents are also reminded they may keep their student home anytime they feel conditions are unsafe to travel to school. When those situations arise, school administrators and teachers will work with students so that they can complete any schoolwork that they may have missed.
On a related note, if school closes because of weather, the school day, by state law, must be made up. Thank you!
