SNOW DAY POLICY:

Closings – Montessori Academy will send out a text alert. If you have AM and/or PM care in your child’s program, you may bring them for a Day Care Day.

Early Closings – We are not bus dependent and as a rule, we do not close early. Parents, of course, should determine their own level of comfort when driving and may pick up early if the need arises. The exception for closing early would be if very extreme/dangerous weather or road conditions developed. If this should occur we will contact each family by text alert.

Delays – We are not bus dependent and do not have delays. School will start at the regular time, regardless of what time other schools start their day.

Snow Make up Days – We do not have snow make up days.

Building Closure – If a state-of-emergency is declared in Vanderburgh and/or Warrick County, Montessori will be closed and will not have school or daycare.
