Hope Academy
The Recovery High School at Fairbanks
School Closing / Inclement Weather
It may become necessary to close school because of emergency situations. As a practice, instruction is offered and Hope Academy will remain open as long as the learning environment can be maintained. Schools will not be closed except for reasons beyond the control of the school and for the safety of the students.
There are three types of emergency situations which could require the closing of Hope Academy:
- Weather or Facility Problem - If school closing becomes necessary, the radio and television stations listed below will be notified.
- Emergency Early Dismissal - If early dismissal becomes necessary and students are sent home, announcements will be made via the radio and television stations listed below.
- Emergency Evacuation and Relocation - If an immediate closing of school becomes necessary and sending students home would be unsafe, students would be transported to a temporary location for pickup by parents or until school can safely resume.
Should it be necessary to close school for any of the above reasons, the announcement will be made on the following television stations:
WRTV 6, WISH TV 8, WTHR 13, FOX 59
Announcements will state the reasons for the school closing. If the closing results in evacuation, the announcement would state where the students have been taken and what parents should do.
Parents should make special arrangements with their students in the event of an emergency early dismissal during the school day when students are dismissed before the normal schedule.
When Hope Academy remains open during inclement weather, Hope Academy recognizes the basic right of parents and guardians to decide whether or not to send their student to school under such conditions. Such absences will not be considered unexcused. In these situations, parental decisions about school attendance or tardiness are respected.
