[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Make Tueaday a 2hr delay (declared Monday evening as a heads-up with an explanation it may lead to cancellation so folks are warned)    so they can buy themselves time to see if the forecast comes to fruition. Then cancel if needed.[/quote]

That makes no sense considering the snow isn't even starting until at least 11.  It's not going to be bad until Tuesday night.   [/quote]

I normally root for us to stay open as much as possible, but afternoon snowfall is the worst. Early release is great in theory, but elementary dismissal plans fall apart because parents haven’t truly got back-up care and parents get caught in traffic, and kids end up stranded well past regular time.[/quote]

This is my first week in the office downtown this week (RTO). I'm 1.5 hours away at minimum before any early release is called, probably more with everyone else trying to get home as well. I'd take leave but I don't really have much to liberally burn. [/quote]

Tough titty said the kitty when the milk ran dry. You were supposed to have child care lined up even if working from home. Just have your kid do their normal childcare that they were doing whil you worked all day.[/quote]

No, that's actually incorrect. It's written into our guidelines that while actively caring for a child is prohibited, simply being in the house with a child is permissible. So them going outside and playing in the snow or watching a movie is fair game. I'm really just there to make sure the house doesn't burn down. But there's no way they can be home alone all day. [/quote]

Ok so you didn’t have childcare lined up. Got it. You relied on you actually being present. Bad idea.[/quote]

I work part time and do pay for before care SACC. That's closed on snow days and doesn't help me on early release days. Please enlighten me as to what other option is there for early elementary that opens by 7 am or earlier?[/quote]

Hiiiii, take time off. That's what your annual leave is for, stupid.[/quote]

But…but…they wanted to use that for vacaaaaaations, not their kiiiiiiiids.[/quote]
