HANDBOOK POLICY CHANGE
REGARDING INCLEMENT WEATHER

EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY:

The hand book states, on page 8, that "...the preschool follows the Forest Hills Public School's closing schedule. In case of a 2-hour delay, the morning class will be cancelled..." This portion of the delay day policy has been changed.

The new policy for the remainder of this year and going forward will be:

If Forest Hills Public School district has a two hour delay our morning programs will begin 45 minutes later than the normal start time with a normal pick up time.

A Forest Hills Public School 2 hour delay then means that:

Young 5's Class: will begin at 9:45 am with a pick up time of Noon.

3's & 4's Classes: will begin at 10:00 am with a pick up time of 11:45 am.
