AFNORTH INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL
INCLEMENT WEATHER OR EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
CONCERN FOR THE SAFETY AND WELFARE OF THE CHILDREN, FAMILIES AND STAFF WILL ALWAYS BE CONSIDERED WHEN IMPLEMENTING THESE PROCEDURES.
Cancellation of Classes: This decision rests with the Director and when possible in consultation with Principals/Heads. Normally, all classes will be cancelled when the majority of the buses are cancelled by this action and/or the actions of those agencies providing the bus services.
2. Notification of Cancellation of Classes:
· Parents, pupils and staff will be notified by radio if classes are cancelled or if some bus routes are not operating. AFN, BFBS and CFN are contacted by the Directorate prior to 07.00 hrs. These stations are on the FM (UKW) band as follows: AFN 89.2, CFN 99.7, BFBS 90.2. The announcements will also be carried in the German language wherever possible.
· Notification takes place only when classes are being cancelled or bus services are being curtailed. Where pick-ups on specific bus routes are definitely known to be considered behind schedule, radio announcements will also be used to minimize the time that children will need to wait outside for their buses.
3. Procedures related to early dismissal due to inclement weather or other school emergency: The Director, in consultation with the Principals/Heads, may also decide that, owing to conditions, it is in the best interests of the pupils to return home early. Exact procedures will be worked out by the Assistant Business Manager in coordination with bus officials.
