When weather conditions are threatening, the conditions of the roads in the
West Clermont Local School District will be checked by transportation personnel.
Existing conditions will be reported to the superintendent, who will make a decision,
based on all available information, whether to close the schools.

Roads will be checked early in the morning, and a decision will usually be made no later than 5:30am.
The superintendent notifies a centralized media reporting service of a decision to close or delay schools.

Sometimes it is necessary to utilize a two-hour delay to allow additional time
for road crews to complete their work. If a two-hour delay is announced,
you should continue to monitor your radio since changing conditions could warrant closing later.

• In the event of a delay or closing, a message will be left on the hotline: 513.943.5096
  Parents may call 513.943.5096 to hear the latest closing, delay or early dismissal information due to inclement weather.  Please do not call the high school offices for this information. It is important to keep the telephone lines open for emergency purposes.
   
• School delays and closings will be announced as WEST CLERMONT SCHOOLS.
  Individual schools in the District will not be called by name.
   
• West Clermont school delays and closings will be reported by local radio and TV stations.

If schools are open and parents do not want to send their children to school, the absence will be treated as excused, and the work missed may be made up. This decision is always available to parents.

Early Dismissals

Mid-day snowstorms create different problems; however, we seldom use early dismissals.
The District is reluctant to do so for several reasons:
1.  In order to dismiss one hour early, the West Clermont Local School District Main Office personnel must decide no later than 11:45 a.m. to implement the early dismissal properly.
2.  If a decision is made dismiss early, there is the possibility of children either not having transportation home or being dropped off at home with no one there to let them in.

If conditions in the afternoon are such that parents wish to go to the school and pick up their children early, they may do so. The principal will release the children to parents, and the absence will be excused.

Parents and students are urged to listen to the radio or to watch TV for announcements concerning changes in school time or bus schedules. Please do not call the school office for this information.
