Emergency School Closure

 

To find information on emergency closures, click here and either search for or click on "Dieringer" in the Pierce County Section. This will connect you to the Public Schools Emergency Communications System.

You may hear the following announcements:

"Schools Closed." All schools are closed for one day. If school is closed, all meetings, field trips and after school activities are canceled.

"Schools Open, Limited Bus Transportation." If the radio announces "limited transportation", we will be on that schedule all day. Your child will be dropped off where he or she was picked up in the morning. All after school activities are canceled.

"Schools Open, One or Two Hours Late." When we run on a one or two hour late schedule, all after school activities are canceled for the day.

"No Out of District Special Education."

"No Kindergarten." There will be no kindergarten in the morning or afternoon.

"No A.M. Kindergarten."

"No P.M. Kindergarten."

"No Day Care."

Safety First
The winter months bring weather conditions which delay school schedules and sometimes cause school closures.

Emergency Plans
Each family should have a plan covering what to do when children arrive home early due to an emergency situation. What is the best route home, if your students cannot be delivered to the normal bus stop? Where could they go, if they needed help? Who could care for him or her until you arrive? Is there someone your child could call to relieve his or her fears? Please discuss these possibilities with your children in advance, so they will know your plans for them.

Mornings
Listen to the radio or television between 6:00 a.m. and 8:00 a.m., if you believe the weather may create hazardous traveling conditions. Radio stations will be announcing schedule changes by district name and number. Listen for Dieringer School District #343, not Sumner District #320. Please do not call the radio stations or the Administration/Transportation offices, which jams busy phone lines.

ANNOUNCEMENTS ARE FOR ONE DAY ONLY!!!
