Closing and Delays

Closing and Delays

As we approach the winter season, it is time to start thinking about dreaded inclement weather. Please remember that we do NOT follow a certain school corporation, I make the decision for St. Anthony School.  

Decisions are never easy and if you, as the parent or guardian, feel that the roads are too bad to get your child to school, it is your prerogative to keep your child at home. Safety is our first concern when the decision is made to delay or close school.  Local fire and police are called upon for help in this decision regarding road conditions, etc., before a decision is made.  My goal is to make a decision by 6:00 AM.  If there is a closing or delay it will be posted in the following ways:

• School Parent Facebook Page
• School Website
• WDRB Snow Fox Closings - make sure to sign up for Snow Fox Alerts!
  • You will look for St. Anthony School, Clarksville

• Email sent to all families

If weather and road conditions become bad enough to cause a change in the normal school schedule, we will follow one of the following plans

• Plan One - Two Hour Delay For a two-hour delay, the bell will ring at 9:50 AM. On days of delayed opening, the school and Preschool doors will open at 9:00 AM.   Please note this is a change from previous years!
• Plan Two - School Closed When this announcement is made, St. Anthony of Padua Catholic School Building will be closed, but classes will take place via remote learning.  St. Anthony Pre School will also be closed.
