In the event that inclement weather should occur, Britten School has taken every precaution to keep the safety of students in the forefront. A school closing in the winter months would likely be due to severe cold and snowfall, in the spring due to excessive rainfall and local flooding. Should school be closed, parents/guardians will receive a notice via phone call, text message and/or email through ParentLink, and the school closing will be listed on the school’s website. Any time school is closed for emergency weather conditions, eLearning will be put into place. If a parent/guardian chooses to keep their child home due to weather conditions, the student will not be penalized. However, they will be asked to make-up all academic assignments. It is the parent’s/guardian’s responsibility to call both the school and the transportation provider.
Britten School provides an eLearning program for students in the case of an emergency school closure due to inclement weather or other unforeseen circumstances. The school provides technology devices and learning interaction through the use of Google Classroom. Britten School is dedicated to providing students with an uninterrupted learning experience.
Should the United States Weather Service broadcast a tornado warning or severe weather alert, the school will take all necessary precautions. All students and faculty will be relocated to the safest area of the building and will remain there until an all-clear has been sounded. If the school is under a tornado warning at dismissal time, no student will be dismissed until an all-clear is sounded.
