VCP will take specific steps to announce weather closures so that families can stay adequately informed when conditions impact our school operations.
A) We will only communicate a formal status update when school leadership makes a final decision. Please refrain from calling the main office or reaching individual teachers directly because they will not have any information to share about weather impacts on school until such a time that we communicate a formal status update.
B) We will communicate a formal status update using four methods:
When school leadership makes a final decision about a school delay or closure, VCP administration will first call and email families a formal status update. We will also deliver a notification through the VCP school app (but please be aware that you may need to open the app to view the message rather than relying on a push notification). For those families without access to a mobile phone or home computer, we will also share our status with local television news stations WTHR-13, Fox 59, WISH-TV, and WRTV-6. Please tune into your preferred station to view their weather announcements or tickers.
C) We will deliver our communications with as much advance notice as possible, but no later than 6:30 a.m. the same day that a weather closure may occur.
