What is there to say? I find it lame how schools are putting out a “we are monitoring the weather message”.
Send out a message with a call or don’t send one out at all.
They sent out a note at 8 AM when teachers were already in class with middle schoolers saying they would be closing at 1 PM. Most teachers in public schools find out about closures through these emails. I sincerely hope this is not the case with private schools and that they had time to make arrangements Ahead of time.

They leave parents waiting and unable to plan while they wait until the last minute to make a final call.
That’s annoying

Yes, it is so soft to be concerned about dismissal and walking/driving home in the middle of an elevated tornado threat. Give me a break. I grew up in Texas, with frequent severe and tornadoes, and we absolutely were dismissed early for this sort of forecast. We also practiced tornado drills and knew what to do in severe weather. Does your school? Mine doesn’t.

I am perplexed at the approach of saying nothing at all. It makes the school look unprepared and/or uncaring to teacher/student safety. At least send a note that the school will be open but that parents are welcome to pick up early.

I’m a teacher at an area independent school that has said nothing. I too have children at other schools being dismissed early. How is it unsafe for everyone else but safe for us to remain in school? Also feeling stressed.

This is how you do it:
A major storm is predicted for Monday, March 16 in the afternoon. Several surrounding counties have announced early dismissals. For the safety of our community, particularly our young drivers, Visitation will dismiss at 1:10 p.m., with all after-school activities cancelled;

Nothing has been announced yet for today either way.
We are picking our kid up early either way but this is terrible for teachers who may be in harms way and/or have to pick up their own children who may be released early.
Thank you. This is empathy. It’s a bad situation for sure.
I appreciate this too. My children have an early release but my school is staying open. There are no subs for me to leave early. My anxiety is through the roof knowing they’ll be home alone worrying.
Signed,
A teacher
